Function node
In n8n, a node that lets you write custom JavaScript to transform data, perform calculations, or call APIs. Equivalent to Make's "Tools > Execute JavaScript" module. Unlocks logic that visual nodes cannot handle.
How PURIST uses this
This concept is built into every automation we deploy.
When PURIST builds your automation, Function node is not an optional consideration it is part of the production standard. Our workflows are tested against edge cases, monitored 24/7, and built to handle what happens when things don't go as expected.
Every client workflow we deploy in the Core concepts category is designed with this principle in mind from day one not added as an afterthought.
