Why Standard Nodes Aren't Always Enough

Integration challenges frequently arise when connecting different systems:

• Data structures vary significantly between applications
• Field names and formats rarely match perfectly
• Complex calculations may be required before data can be used
• Business-specific logic needs to be applied to incoming data
• Validation and data quality checks are essential

Without the Function Item node, these issues often require:

• Multiple additional nodes creating complex workflows
• Custom middleware or external processing
• Developers maintaining separate scripts
• Inefficient workarounds that slow down automation

The Function Item node solves these problems by bringing the flexibility of custom code directly into your workflow, simplifying processes and reducing technical debt.
