Overview
The "End" node is designed to mark the end of a workflow or a logical branch within an n8n automation. It allows users to explicitly indicate the completion status of a process, such as success, failure, or warning. This can be useful for visual clarity in complex workflows, for conditional branching, or for triggering subsequent actions based on the outcome.
Practical examples:
- Marking the successful completion of a data processing pipeline.
- Indicating a failed operation and stopping further execution.
- Signaling a warning state to downstream systems or notifications.
Properties
| Name | Type | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Type | options | Specifies the end status of the workflow or branch. Options are: Success, Fail, Warning. |
Output
The node outputs a single item with the following structure:
{
"response": {}
}
- The output contains a
responsefield, which is always an empty object. No additional data is provided.
Dependencies
- No external services, API keys, or special n8n configurations are required.
Troubleshooting
- No Output Data: The node intentionally outputs only an empty
responseobject. If you expect more data, review your workflow design. - Node Not Triggering Further Actions: As this node has no outputs, it will not trigger any subsequent nodes. Ensure this matches your intended workflow logic.
