Hey guys,
quick question: I have a big workflow and when I am testing I do not want to execute the workflow everytime from the beginning on.
That is why I am using the “pin” node function. But it doenst work for me. What am I doing wrong?
I have the node “Code9” pinned, but when I execute for example “Get Folder ID” it is still starting from the beginning.
How can I prevent that?
Thanks in advance!
Hey there! Is the next node using data from a node before the pinned one?
I dont understand. When I click execute it starts from the beginning on and it not storing the data of the pinned node.
My goal is to start the workflow in the middle of it and not at the beginning again because it needs so much time to run through the whole workflow
Try and either add or move the manual start node to directly go to Code9. The workflow will then start from there. All the pin does is overwrite the node with the pinned data at that point, not start it from there
@Luca2 If you want to execute a flow from a specific node onwards, you need to click the little Play button above the node. If you click Execute, it will always start from the beginning.
I did it like that but it still starts from the beginning even if I click the small play button above the pinned node or nodes after the pinned one. :///
I stand corrected, executing a workflow from a selected node onwards is not supported currently. You will need to PIN all nodes before the one you want to start from. N8n will not execute the pinned nodes and effectively start from your desired one. Hope that helps!
That is correct, clicking the play button on a node only executes the workflow TO and not FROM. So it will start from a manual node, webhook with pin, any trigger or scheduler node and run up to the node you clicked the play button on.
@Luca2 can you share your updated workflow. It should look something like below. The manual node needs to be set just before the Code9 node so that executing starts from there.
Clicking the play button above the GetID node will start execution from the manual node and run through the Code9 pinned node and then up until the GetID node.
