Overview
This node processes a Liquid template using provided data, allowing dynamic content generation based on input or custom JSON data. It is useful for scenarios where templated text or structured output needs to be generated dynamically, such as creating personalized messages, generating HTML or JSON snippets, or formatting data for further processing.
Use Case Examples
- Generating personalized email content by rendering a template with user data from the input item.
- Creating custom JSON structures by rendering templates with static or dynamic data.
- Formatting output messages or reports by applying Liquid templates to input data.

| Custom Data | Custom JSON data to be used for template variables when 'Custom Data' is selected as the data source. |
| Output Key | The key under which the rendered template will be stored in the output JSON object. |
