The idea is:
Add custom query or body parameters to add to any request in any node. Alternatively add a button to convert to HTTP node from an existing node.
My use case:
API providers are constantly adding new parameters and they are not always added to n8n node. Sometimes you configured everything in a built-in node and have to switch to HTTP just because one query parameter is not supported.
Or you choose the node from the UI and switch to custom and have to reset everything (at least if the credential is already selected this would help a lot)
I think it would be beneficial to add this because:
We spend time re-setting something we already setup once just because one parameter is missing
Any resources to support this?
Example:
I want to get a ticket and it’s notes from Hubspot.
I use get ticket node but I don’t have the associations parameter listed in API documentation, not the Get notes node. So I need to move ton configuring and HTTP node and understand the (not so easy) Hubspot api documentation about association to finally realise I will need to replace my Get Ticket node (and every option I started configuring) to an HTTP node just to add the association parameter or to add at least a get association HTTP node and a get Note HTTP node to retrieve the note I want.
I spend at least 1 hour doing that and my workflow is now:
Get Ticket → HTTP Get association → HTTP Get Note
When it could just have been a get ticket node like this
Are you willing to work on this?
Happy to help if I can
