Data storage that is built natively within n8n (if im missing it please let me know)
My use case:
I am using GHL to send customer data, but the issue is I have two different flows. Flow A that has a webhook trigger, and Flow b that has a webhook trigger.
Within Flow A i need contact details from GHL. So i am using Flow B to get that data. Within Flow B I am wanting to store that data so I can use an http request in Flow A to pull that data.
But I can’t seem to find a data storage node outside of the vector stores which will not help. Any ideas?
Just curious if maybe you can work this out by using a file? a Spreadsheet maybe?
Also, just yesterday I saw a node called Customer Data Store (n8n training) - which might do the trick?!? I just haven’t used it myself
What you need is a common database, whether it’s an actual database or a sheet to share data between workflows.
You can go with whichever database you want to run alongside that makes sense for you (is it document, relational, KV or graph data) - postgres, mysql, mongo, redis, neo4j… The database can be manager or self hosted, just like n8n itself.
What would be the value and the reason to bloat the n8n with functionality, which is readily available in products that are easily integratabtle?
