This workflow demonstrates how to use noItemsLeft to check if there are items left to be processed by the SplitInBatches node. Function node: This node generates mock data for the workflow. Replace it with the node whose data you want to split into batches. SplitInBatches node: This node splits the data with the batch size equal to 1. Based on your use-case, set the value of the Batch Size. IF node: This node check if all the data by the SplitInBatches are not processed or not. It uses the expression {{$node["SplitInBatches"].context["noItemsLeft"]}} which returns a boolean value. If there is data yet to be processed, the expression will return false, otherwise true. Set node: This node prints a message No Items Left. Based on your use-case, connect the false output of the IF node to the input of the node you want to execute, after the data is processed by the SplitInBatches node.

Using the Merge Node - Merge by Key

This is an example of how you can make Merge by Key work. The “Data 1” and “Data 2” nodes simply provide mock data. You can replace them with your own data sources. Then the “Convert Data” nodes are important. They make sure that the different array items are actually different items in n8n. After that, you have then the merge with the merged data.

Write JSON to Disk (Binary)

The “Write Binary File” expects binary data. The JSON data is, however, JSON ;) There should really be a node that allows moving data around between both of them. For now, it can be done with a Function-Node. At least till a proper one is in place. The first node is example data, wich you can customize or replace. The second node named “Make Binary” is the important one with the custom code which makes the data binary and writes it to the correct location.
