n8n Firecrawl Website Content Extractor

This n8n workflow provides a basic structure for interacting with an external API, potentially for extracting website content, and then conditionally processing the response. While the workflow itself is a starting point, it demonstrates how to make an HTTP request and use an If node for conditional logic.

What it does

This workflow, when manually triggered, performs the following steps:

1. Starts Manually: The workflow is initiated by a manual trigger.
2. Makes an HTTP Request: It executes an HTTP request to an external API. The specifics of this request (URL, method, headers, body) are not defined in the provided JSON, but this is where the interaction with the Firecrawl API (or any other web content extraction service) would be configured.
3. Applies Conditional Logic: It then passes the response from the HTTP request to an If node. This node is designed to evaluate a condition and route the workflow based on whether the condition is true or false. The specific condition is not defined in the JSON.
4. Sets Fields (Edit Fields): If the condition in the If node evaluates to true, the workflow proceeds to an Edit Fields (Set) node. This node can be used to add, remove, or modify fields in the data, preparing it for subsequent steps.
5. Waits (Wait): If the condition in the If node evaluates to false, the workflow proceeds to a Wait node, which pauses the execution for a configurable duration.

Prerequisites/Requirements

• n8n Instance: An active n8n instance to import and run the workflow.
• API Endpoint: The URL and any necessary authentication/parameters for the external API you intend to call (e.g., Firecrawl API).

Setup/Usage

1. Import the Workflow: Import the provided JSON into your n8n instance.
2. Configure HTTP Request:
   • Locate the "HTTP Request" node.
   • Configure the URL, Method (e.g., GET, POST), Headers (e.g., API Key), and Body (if applicable) to interact with your desired API (e.g., Firecrawl).
3. Configure If Node:
   • Locate the "If" node.
   • Define the condition(s) you want to evaluate based on the output of the "HTTP Request" node. For example, you might check for a specific status code, a value in the response body, or the presence of certain data.
4. Configure Edit Fields (Set) Node:
   • If the "If" node's true branch is used, configure the "Edit Fields (Set)" node to transform the data as needed.
5. Configure Wait Node:
   • If the "If" node's false branch is used, configure the "Wait" node with the desired delay duration.
6. Execute the Workflow: Click the "Execute Workflow" button in the n8n editor to run the workflow manually. You can also activate the workflow to run on a schedule or via a webhook if you replace the "Manual Trigger" with a suitable trigger node.
