Encode (JSON to GCF)

AI-generated

Summary

Convert JSON to GCF format and store the result in a configurable output field.

Inputs

  • inputData (required) — The JSON data to encode to GCF; can be a literal string, a field reference (e.g., {{ $json }}) or a path expression.
  • outputField (required) — Name of the field in the node's output where the converted GCF string will be placed.
  • additionalOptions — Optional settings such as 'Include Token Metrics' to embed token comparison data in the output.

Output shape

Object containing the converted GCF string under the configured outputField, optionally with a tokenMetrics sub‑object.

The operation emits a single JSON object per input item; tokenMetrics is added only when Include Token Metrics is enabled.

Examples

Example 1: Encode incoming JSON payload and write result to field 'gcfData'

operation=encode, inputData={{ $json }}, outputField=gcfData, additionalOptions={includeTokenMetrics:true}
