Hi guys,

I want create form that support edit in automation running.

I want implement ‘human in the loop’ logic.

Image that a OCR process, need human to verify the result, also can support edit the OCR result.

BR,

Donghai

@Donghai n8n has this built-in via the Wait node set to “On Form Submission” — drop it after ur OCR step, pre-fill the form fields with the OCR result using expressions like {{ $json.ocr_text }} as the default value, workflow pauses until user submits, then resumes with the edited values flowing forward. what OCR are u using (Tesseract, Google Vision, Mistral OCR, etc.)? the field-mapping shape changes a bit depending on whether ur OCR returns plain text or structured fields.

Hi @Donghai Welcome to the n8n community.

You can checkout this workflow below, Keep in mind in the workflow below, One think to take care of is the variable name ik it could get tricky but you can reference the workflow below to implement that tricky logic in your worklfow as i’ve laid it out.

(I’m using a form submission but you can use anything else as well, something like gmail, slack, click up, whatsapp etc.)
