Icons describe general node roles, inferred from node types. Inspect the parameters for the configured action.
Drag to pan; use + and − to zoom. Reconstructed from the exported node positions; nothing runs here. Dashed lines represent non-main connections. Full node names and notes appear below.
How it works
The exported workflow contains the following configured nodes. Their connections are shown above; inspect the JSON for the complete logic, expressions, and external actions.
| Node | Category | Type | Operation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Compare the two Datasets | Transform | Compare Datasets | See node parameters |
| Extract the spotify track ID | Transform | Edit Fields | See node parameters |
| Extract the Spotify Track ID | Transform | Edit Fields | See node parameters |
| Find the returned tracks on Spotify | Files / media | Spotify | track / search |
| Get my tracks inside my playlist | Files / media | You Tube | playlistItem / getAll |
| Loop Over Items | Routing | Loop Over Items | See node parameters |
| When clicking ‘Test workflow’ | Trigger | Manual Trigger | See node parameters |
| Get tracks inside the Spotify Playlist | Files / media | Spotify | playlist / getTracks |
| Add tracks not already in playlist | Files / media | Spotify | playlist |
Setup
- Download the JSON and import it into an isolated n8n instance. Leave the workflow inactive.
- Connect your own credentials through n8n’s credential store. Replace
REPLACE_WITH_*values with your resource identifiers. - Inspect API destinations, Code nodes, database queries, file paths, and outbound actions.
- Run with synthetic data and harmless destinations. Enable triggers only after checking the actual outputs.
Requirements
An n8n instance with the listed node types and compatible versions. Service-connected workflows may require accounts, credentials, or paid APIs.
