[solved] Test workflow with messaging actions

Hi, so the message nodes by themself work but I thought it might be a good idea to be able to trigger them at the same time.

Being no programmer I am stupid enough to not know what I need to add as json to trigger those nodes. The message nodes are super simple - they are just sending a predefined text.

Pls. help.

It looks like your topic is missing some important information. Could you provide the following if applicable.

  • n8n version:
  • Database (default: SQLite):
  • n8n EXECUTIONS_PROCESS setting (default: own, main):
  • Running n8n via (Docker, npm, n8n cloud, desktop app):
  • Operating system:

Do you mean changing the order how the branches are executed? There are two way how the workflows can run depending on the workflow settings you set, https://docs.n8n.io/workflows/settings/:

Execution order: choose the execution order for multi-branch workflows. v0 (legacy) executes the first node of each branch, then the second node of each branch, and so on. v1 (recommended) executes each branch in turn, completing one branch before starting another. n8n orders the branches based on their position on the canvas, from topmost to bottommost. If two branches are at the same height, the leftmost branch executes first.

That is to execute the nodes at the same level in each branch you need to switch to v0.

The JSON would contain the message you want to relay unless I misundestood your question. For example,

Thanks but my case is much simpler. The messages are static. All I was looking for is a means for pressing the play button on multiple actions at the same time. So I thought “test workflow” sounds great but in plain it doesn’t do what I want. So I guess I need to pass on some kind of a true/1 to cause the execution of the message actions.

Pressing the “test workflow” should work just fine with the workflow demo I showed. It is is the same message for each of your apps, using the Edit Fileds to hold the value of the message in a single place is much better than updating each of the messagers.

understood and I agree … I will try that when I get back home. Thanks … will follow-up with success message (or not).

Everything works perfectly … thank you!
