Item linking issues after a Code node

Questions

Describe the problem/error/question

So I have a work flow that fetches a bunch of websites from a google news rss feed, then filters them down to the 3 most relevant, and finally picks one article that a LLM classifies as news, not sales promo. Problem is I can’t then reference data points from previous nodes, which is the article title and the decoded URL. I can’t really get my head around how I would reference the index for item’s after I’ve done filtering to the data in a code node.

What is the error message (if any)?

Using the item method doesn’t work with pinned data in this scenario. Please unpin ‘Rank Article Sentiment’ and try again.

An expression here won’t work because it uses .item and n8n can’t figure out the matching item. You can either:

  • Add the missing information to the node ‘Rank Article Sentiment’
  • Or use .first(), .last() or .all()[index] instead of .item

Please share your workflow

Share the output returned by the last node

Information on your n8n setup

Hey @dataduality,

You can use the pairedItem method.
See documentation here:
