Lesson 4: Data Mapping

Practice: Map the Morning Brief

Right now, try this:

  1. Imagine the weather API outputs: { "temp": 72, "condition": "rainy", "city": "Seattle" }
  2. You have a text formatter step that produces: "Today in [CITY] it will be [TEMP]°F and [CONDITION]"
  3. You have an email step with a Body field
  4. What would you map into the Body field to get the formatted text?

Answer: You'd reference the formatter output. In Make syntax: {{ 1.formatted_text }}. In n8n syntax: {{ $node["Formatter"].json.formatted_text }} (depending on what you named the formatter node).

The email body receives the formatted text and sends it.
