Summary

Runs the selected Exia ActionNode with the supplied inputs. For background jobs, either polls for the final job state or returns the initial response with the job ID, depending on the wait setting.

Inputs

  • ActionNode Name or ID (required) — Select the ActionNode to run, or provide its name using an expression.
  • Inputs — Choose Define Below to enter named parameters as name/value pairs, or JSON to provide an object keyed by the ActionNode input names. Defaults to Define Below; omitted or unnamed pairs produce no corresponding input.
  • Wait for Background Job — Defaults to true. When the ActionNode response identifies a background job, poll until it completes and return its final job state. Set false to return the initial response, including the job ID.
  • Poll Interval (Seconds) — Polling interval when waiting for a background job; defaults to 2 seconds and has a minimum of 1 second.

Output shape

One or more n8n items containing the ActionNode result as JSON.

A background job with waiting enabled returns its final job object after completion. Failed, cancelled, or timed-out jobs raise an error. With Continue On Fail enabled, errors are returned as an item with an error field. Each input item is processed separately.
