Mastering JSON Automation In n8n ⚙️

In n8n, JSON is everywhere but you rarely deal with it directly. When you connect a Google Sheets node to read data, n8n automatically converts your spreadsheet rows into JSON format. Each row becomes an object with column headers as keys and cell values as the data. Setting up a workflow that processes form submissions shows JSON in action. Your form tool sends submission data as JSON to n8n's webhook. You see fields like name, email, and message appear as clear, labeled data. Drag connections from these fields to other nodes - perhaps sending the email address to Mailchimp or creating a task in Notion with the message content. The Function node in n8n lets you transform JSON data when needed. You might combine first and last name fields, calculate totals from line items, or reformat dates. Even these transformations use visual interfaces where possible, showing you data changes in real-time. When connecting to APIs, n8n often handles JSON formatting automatically. You fill in fields or select options, and n8n constructs the proper JSON structure behind the scenes. Response data appears parsed and ready to use - no manual JSON manipulation required. This abstraction lets you focus on building workflows, not wrestling with data formats.
