Transform

Apply a saved transform template to whatever file entered the workflow, so every run reshapes data the same way-no manual cleanup step required.

Overview

The Transform Template node sits between a data source and an export or sync step. It doesn't build a new transformation from scratch-it applies a template you've already saved in the transformation workspace to whatever file the workflow passes in. That keeps the workflow itself simple: one node, one saved recipe, applied consistently every time the workflow runs.

Add a Transform Template Node

The node lives in its own Transform section of the Node Palette, right below Data Sources.

Steps

  1. Open a workflow that already has a data source node on the canvas.
  2. Drag the Transform Template node from the Transform section of the palette onto the canvas.
  3. Connect the data source node's output to the Transform Template node's input.

Choose a Saved Template

The node applies whichever template you point it at from your Template Manager-it doesn't build one for you.

Steps

  1. Click the Transform Template node to open its configuration panel.
  2. Pick a template from the list of templates saved in Template Manager.
  3. Save the workflow-the selected template will be reapplied every time this node runs.

If no template matches the incoming file's column structure, the run will fail at this step-check Execution History for details on what didn't map.

Connect It Downstream

Once the template runs, its output is a transformed file ready to hand off to a sync, export, or utility node.

Steps

  1. Drag a connector from the Transform Template node's output dot to the next node-such as Odoo Sync, Database Export, or Google Drive Export.
  2. Add an If/Else node first if you only want to sync or export under certain conditions.
  3. Use Run Now to test the full chain before activating the workflow.

A Transform Template node can feed more than one downstream node-branch its output to sync to Odoo and export to Google Drive at the same time.

Keep Templates in Sync

A Transform Template node always references the live version of the template-not a snapshot from when you added it.

What this means

  • Editing a template in Template Manager updates every workflow that uses it, immediately.
  • Deleting a template will break any workflow node pointing to it-those nodes will show as unconfigured until you pick a replacement.
  • Use Download JSON on the workflow to keep a backup of your node configuration, including which template each node references.
