Clone

Creates a copy of a JSON object payload.

Common Properties​

  • Name - The custom name of the node.
  • Color - The custom color of the node.
  • Delay Before (sec) - Waits in seconds before executing the node.
  • Delay After (sec) - Waits in seconds after executing node.
  • Continue On Error - Automation will continue regardless of any error. The default value is false.

Inputs​

  • Payload - JSON object to be cloned.

Options​

This node does not have any options.

Outputs​

  • Clone - Copy of the input JSON object.

How It Works​

The Clone node creates an exact copy of a JSON object. When executed, the node:

  1. Receives a JSON object through the Payload input
  2. Passes the same object to the Clone output without modification
  3. Preserves all key-value pairs and nested structures

Requirements​

  • Valid JSON object as input

Error Handling​

The node will return specific errors in the following cases:

  • Invalid JSON object in the Payload input

Usage Notes​

  • This node is useful for creating copies of JSON objects when you need to preserve the original while modifying a copy
  • The cloned object is independent of the original, so modifications to one won't affect the other
  • Works with nested JSON objects and arrays
  • Useful in scenarios where multiple nodes need to work with the same data structure
  • Can be used to create backup copies of JSON data before processing
  • The node performs a shallow copy of the JSON object
  • Works with any valid JSON structure including objects, arrays, strings, numbers, and booleans
