Since I started using n8n in 2020, One thing I missed is a randomizer node. Which takes two inputs and picks one from it. So the workflow would continue based on the output.
There are lots of ways you can do that. But a Node would be pretty useful.
This is what I mean.
So I built a Randomizer Node which does the exact same thing. It’s a simple thing, yet it’s pretty useful like in the above cases.
This can be installed as a community node.
Here enter “n8n-nodes-randomizer” and click install. Once done you can try searching for a Randomizer Node in the nodes tab.

Hi @mcnaveen
Could you give an example of where you could use a node like this?
Seems like a good idea to me but have no clue when to use it.

Hi, @BramKn
I have a workflow where I have to run different actions (Randomly)
Each and every time, I have to do like this.
- Have to generate a number between x-x
- Check if it’s larger or smaller, again some check.
With the Randomizer node, All I have to do is add a Randomizer Node and it helps me with the flow without this much of complexity

Hi @mcnaveen
Could you explain why you have to run different actions randomly? I cannot think of a usecase where that would be needed in a production flow.

I run a few automation blogs. Every flow has a different post ID pulling data from a different source and posting it.
Here is another example: Randomizer : Manychat Help

Ah, that make sense. I never really deal with these kinds of things.

Haha, Useful for me instead of dealing with Multiple Code blocks and IF Blocks. Just have to drop the randomizer node from now on.
