Flow → Trigger
AI-generatedSummary
Trigger a selected Puppetflow flow and return the API response immediately. Build the flow input by merging the incoming item when enabled, mapped flow input fields, and additional JSON data; later values override earlier ones.
Inputs
- Flow (required) — Select a flow from the searchable list or enter its ID.
- Pass Input Item as Data — Defaults to false. When enabled, starts the flow input with the incoming item’s JSON. If there is no corresponding incoming item, uses an empty object.
- Flow Input Fields — Optional values for the selected flow’s default inputs. Empty strings and undefined values are omitted; these values override matching fields from the incoming item.
- Additional JSON Input Data — JSON object merged last into the flow input, overriding matching fields from the other sources. Defaults to {}. Invalid JSON causes an error.
Output shape
A single n8n item per input item, containing the trigger API response in json.
The operation sends a POST request to trigger the flow and returns immediately; it does not wait for the run to complete. Output items retain pairing with their corresponding input items.
