Split Out

Use the Split Out node to separate a single data item containing a list into multiple items. For example, a list of customers, and you want to split them so that you have an item for each customer.

Node parameters

Configure this node using the following parameters.

Field to Split Out

Enter the field containing the list you want to separate out into individual items.

If you're working with binary data inputs, use $binary in an expression to set the field to split out.

Include

Select whether and how you want n8n to keep any other fields from the input data with each new individual item.

You can select:

• No Other Fields: No other fields will be included.
• All Other Fields: All other fields will be included.
• Selected Other Fields: Only the selected fields will be included.
• Fields to Include: Enter a comma separated list of the fields you want to include.

Node options

Disable Dot Notation

By default, n8n enables dot notation to reference child fields in the format parent.child. Use this option to disable dot notation (turned on) or to continue using dot (turned off).

Destination Field Name

Enter the field in the output where the split field contents should go.

Include Binary

Choose whether to include binary data from the input in the new output (turned on) or not (turned off).
