The Record block

The Record block creates key-value pairs from received data and sends them as a JSON object. The Record block is useful for structuring and transforming data in your flow. For example, you can use it to construct API request payloads or to merge data from multiple responses.

Input

Each input port receives data from a connected or inserted block and creates a key-value pair. The name of the input port is the key, and the data it receives is the value. All keys in the block must be unique.

A new Record block has one input port by default. To add another input port, connect a block to an existing input port or click Add data blocks.

When you connect another block's output port to a Record block's input port, a Select block is automatically inserted. Click Enter path... to select data for the key-value pair's value. You can also insert blocks into the Record block to use their data in the key-value pair.

Output

The Record block has a single output port that sends a JSON object containing the key-value pairs defined in the block.

Setup

To set up a Record block, do the following:

Connect a block's output port to the Record block's input port, or click Add data blocks to insert a block.
Enter or select a value.
Click key<number> and enter a name for the key.
