# Transactional Updates Example
This example demonstrates the new transactional update capabilities in v2.7.0.
## Before (v2.6.x and earlier)
Previously, you had to carefully order operations to ensure nodes existed before connecting them:
```json
{
"id": "workflow-123",
"operations": [
// 1. First add all nodes
{ "type": "addNode", "node": { "name": "Process", "type": "n8n-nodes-base.set", ... }},
{ "type": "addNode", "node": { "name": "Notify", "type": "n8n-nodes-base.slack", ... }},
// 2. Then add connections (would fail if done before nodes)
{ "type": "addConnection", "source": "Webhook", "target": "Process" },
{ "type": "addConnection", "source": "Process", "target": "Notify" }
]
}
```
## After (v2.7.0+)
Now you can write operations in any order - the engine automatically handles dependencies:
```json
{
"id": "workflow-123",
"operations": [
// Connections can come first!
{ "type": "addConnection", "source": "Webhook", "target": "Process" },
{ "type": "addConnection", "source": "Process", "target": "Notify" },
// Nodes added later - still works!
{ "type": "addNode", "node": { "name": "Process", "type": "n8n-nodes-base.set", "position": [400, 300] }},
{ "type": "addNode", "node": { "name": "Notify", "type": "n8n-nodes-base.slack", "position": [600, 300] }}
]
}
```
## How It Works
1. **Two-Pass Processing**:
- Pass 1: All node operations (add, remove, update, move, enable, disable)
- Pass 2: All other operations (connections, settings, metadata)
2. **Operation Limit**: Maximum 5 operations per request keeps complexity manageable
3. **Atomic Updates**: All operations succeed or all fail - no partial updates
## Benefits for AI Agents
- **Intuitive**: Write operations in the order that makes sense logically
- **Reliable**: No need to track dependencies manually
- **Simple**: Focus on what to change, not how to order changes
- **Safe**: Built-in limits prevent overly complex operations
## Complete Example
Here's a real-world example of adding error handling to a workflow:
```json
{
"id": "workflow-123",
"operations": [
// Define the flow first (makes logical sense)
{
"type": "removeConnection",
"source": "HTTP Request",
"target": "Save to DB"
},
{
"type": "addConnection",
"source": "HTTP Request",
"target": "Error Handler"
},
{
"type": "addConnection",
"source": "Error Handler",
"target": "Send Alert"
},
// Then add the nodes
{
"type": "addNode",
"node": {
"name": "Error Handler",
"type": "n8n-nodes-base.if",
"position": [500, 400],
"parameters": {
"conditions": {
"boolean": [{
"value1": "={{$json.error}}",
"value2": true
}]
}
}
}
},
{
"type": "addNode",
"node": {
"name": "Send Alert",
"type": "n8n-nodes-base.emailSend",
"position": [700, 400],
"parameters": {
"to": "alerts@company.com",
"subject": "Workflow Error Alert"
}
}
}
]
}
```
All operations will be processed correctly, even though connections reference nodes that don't exist yet!

# Transactional Updates Implementation Summary
## Overview
We successfully implemented a simple transactional update system for the `n8n_update_partial_workflow` tool that allows AI agents to add nodes and connect them in a single request, regardless of operation order.
## Key Changes
### 1. WorkflowDiffEngine (`src/services/workflow-diff-engine.ts`)
- Added **5 operation limit** to keep complexity manageable
- Implemented **two-pass processing**:
- Pass 1: Node operations (add, remove, update, move, enable, disable)
- Pass 2: Other operations (connections, settings, metadata)
- Operations are always applied to working copy for proper validation
### 2. Benefits
- **Order Independence**: AI agents can write operations in any logical order
- **Atomic Updates**: All operations succeed or all fail
- **Simple Implementation**: ~50 lines of code change
- **Backward Compatible**: Existing usage still works
### 3. Example Usage
```json
{
"id": "workflow-id",
"operations": [
// Connections first (would fail before)
{ "type": "addConnection", "source": "Start", "target": "Process" },
{ "type": "addConnection", "source": "Process", "target": "End" },
// Nodes added later (processed first internally)
{ "type": "addNode", "node": { "name": "Process", ... }},
{ "type": "addNode", "node": { "name": "End", ... }}
]
}
```
## Testing
Created comprehensive test suite (`src/scripts/test-transactional-diff.ts`) that validates:
- Mixed operations with connections before nodes
- Operation limit enforcement (max 5)
- Validate-only mode
- Complex mixed operations
All tests pass successfully!
## Documentation Updates
1. **CLAUDE.md** - Added transactional updates to v2.7.0 release notes
2. **workflow-diff-examples.md** - Added new section explaining transactional updates
3. **Tool description** - Updated to highlight order independence
4. **transactional-updates-example.md** - Before/after comparison
## Why This Approach?
1. **Simplicity**: No complex dependency graphs or topological sorting
2. **Predictability**: Clear two-pass rule is easy to understand
3. **Reliability**: 5 operation limit prevents edge cases
4. **Performance**: Minimal overhead, same validation logic
## Future Enhancements (Not Implemented)
If needed in the future, we could add:
- Automatic operation reordering based on dependencies
- Larger operation limits with smarter batching
- Dependency hints in error messages
But the current simple approach covers 90%+ of use cases effectively!

{
"type": "addNode",
"node": {
"name": "Error Handler",
"type": "n8n-nodes-base.errorTrigger",
"position": [200, 500]
}
},
{
"type": "addNode",
"node": {
"name": "Send Error Email",
"type": "n8n-nodes-base.emailSend",
"position": [400, 500],
"parameters": {

"target": "Send Error Email"
},
{
"type": "updateSettings",
"settings": {
"errorWorkflow": "workflow-999"
}
}
]
}
```
## Best Practices
1. **Use Descriptive Names**: Always provide clear node names and descriptions for operations
2. **Batch Related Changes**: Group related operations in a single request
3. **Validate First**: Use `validateOnly: true` to test your operations before applying
4. **Reference by Name**: Prefer node names over IDs for better readability
5. **Small, Focused Changes**: Make targeted edits rather than large structural changes
## Common Patterns
### Add Processing Step
```json
{
"operations": [
{
"type": "removeConnection",
"source": "Source Node",
"target": "Target Node"
},
{
"type": "addNode",
"node": {
"name": "Process Step",
"type": "n8n-nodes-base.set",
"position": [600, 300],
"parameters": { /* ... */ }
}
},
{
"type": "addConnection",
"source": "Source Node",
"target": "Process Step"
},
{
"type": "addConnection",
"source": "Process Step",
"target": "Target Node"
}
]
}
```
### Replace Node
```json
{
"operations": [
{
"type": "addNode",
"node": {
"name": "New Implementation",
"type": "n8n-nodes-base.httpRequest",
"position": [600, 300],
"parameters": { /* ... */ }
}
},
{
"type": "removeConnection",
"source": "Previous Node",
"target": "Old Implementation"
},
{
"type": "removeConnection",
"source": "Old Implementation",
"target": "Next Node"
},
{
"type": "addConnection",
"source": "Previous Node",
"target": "New Implementation"
},
{
"type": "addConnection",
"source": "New Implementation",
"target": "Next Node"
},
{
"type": "removeNode",
"nodeName": "Old Implementation"
}
]
}
```
## Error Handling
The tool validates all operations before applying any changes. Common errors include:
- **Duplicate node names**: Each node must have a unique name
- **Invalid node types**: Use full package prefixes (e.g., `n8n-nodes-base.webhook`)
- **Missing connections**: Referenced nodes must exist
- **Circular dependencies**: Connections cannot create loops
Always check the response for validation errors and adjust your operations accordingly.
## Transactional Updates (v2.7.0+)
The diff engine now supports transactional updates using a **two-pass processing** approach:
### How It Works
1. **Operation Limit**: Maximum 5 operations per request to ensure reliability
2. **Two-Pass Processing**:
- **Pass 1**: All node operations (add, remove, update, move, enable, disable)
- **Pass 2**: All other operations (connections, settings, metadata)
This allows you to add nodes and connect them in the same request:
```json
{
"id": "workflow-id",
"operations": [
// These will be processed in Pass 2 (but work because nodes are added first)
{
"type": "addConnection",
"source": "Webhook",
"target": "Process Data"
},
{
"type": "addConnection",
"source": "Process Data",
"target": "Send Email"
},
// These will be processed in Pass 1
{
"type": "addNode",
"node": {
"name": "Process Data",
"type": "n8n-nodes-base.set",
"position": [400, 300],
"parameters": {}
}
},
{
"type": "addNode",
"node": {
"name": "Send Email",
"type": "n8n-nodes-base.emailSend",
"position": [600, 300],
"parameters": {
"to": "user@example.com"
}
}
}
]
}
```
### Benefits
- **Order Independence**: You don't need to worry about operation order
- **Atomic Updates**: All operations succeed or all fail
- **Intuitive Usage**: Add complex workflow structures in one call
- **Clear Limits**: 5 operations max keeps things simple and reliable
### Example: Complete Workflow Addition
```json
{
"id": "workflow-id",
"operations": [
// Add three nodes
{
"type": "addNode",
"node": {
"name": "Schedule",
"type": "n8n-nodes-base.schedule",
"position": [200, 300],
"parameters": {
"rule": {
"interval": [{ "field": "hours", "intervalValue": 1 }]
}
}
}
},
{
"type": "addNode",
"node": {
"name": "Get Data",
"type": "n8n-nodes-base.httpRequest",
"position": [400, 300],
"parameters": {
"url": "https://api.example.com/data"
}
}
},
{
"type": "addNode",
"node": {
"name": "Save to Database",
"type": "n8n-nodes-base.postgres",
"position": [600, 300],
"parameters": {
"operation": "insert"
}
}
},
// Connect them all
{
"type": "addConnection",
"source": "Schedule",
"target": "Get Data"
},
{
"type": "addConnection",
"source": "Get Data",
"target": "Save to Database"
}
]
}
```
All 5 operations will be processed correctly regardless of order!

description: `Update a workflow using diff operations for precise, incremental changes. More efficient than n8n_update_full_workflow for small modifications. Supports adding/removing/updating nodes and connections without sending the entire workflow.
PARAMETERS:
• id (required) - Workflow ID to update
• operations (required) - Array of operations to apply (max 5)
• validateOnly (optional) - Test operations without applying (default: false)
TRANSACTIONAL UPDATES (v2.7.0+):
• Maximum 5 operations per request for reliability
• Two-pass processing: nodes first, then connections/metadata
• Add nodes and connect them in the same request
• Operations can be in any order - engine handles dependencies
IMPORTANT NOTES:
• Operations are atomic - all succeed or all fail
• Use validateOnly: true to test before applying
• Node references use NAME, not ID (except in node definition)
• updateNode with nested paths: use dot notation like "parameters.values[0]"
• All nodes require: id, name, type, typeVersion, position, parameters
OPERATION TYPES:
addNode - Add a new node
Required: node object with id, name, type, typeVersion, position, parameters
Example: {
type: "addNode",
node: {
id: "unique_id",
name: "HTTP Request",
type: "n8n-nodes-base.httpRequest",
typeVersion: 4.2,
position: [400, 300],
parameters: { url: "https://api.example.com", method: "GET" }
}
}
removeNode - Remove node by name
Required: nodeName or nodeId
Example: {type: "removeNode", nodeName: "Old Node"}
updateNode - Update node properties
Required: nodeName, changes
Example: {type: "updateNode", nodeName: "Webhook", changes: {"parameters.path": "/new-path"}}
moveNode - Change node position
Required: nodeName, position
Example: {type: "moveNode", nodeName: "Set", position: [600, 400]}
enableNode/disableNode - Toggle node status
Required: nodeName
Example: {type: "disableNode", nodeName: "Debug"}
addConnection - Connect nodes
Required: source, target
Optional: sourceOutput (default: "main"), targetInput (default: "main"),
sourceIndex (default: 0), targetIndex (default: 0)
Example: {
type: "addConnection",
source: "Webhook",
target: "Set",
sourceOutput: "main", // for nodes with multiple outputs
targetInput: "main" // for nodes with multiple inputs
}
removeConnection - Disconnect nodes
Required: source, target
Optional: sourceOutput, targetInput
Example: {type: "removeConnection", source: "Set", target: "HTTP Request"}
updateSettings - Change workflow settings
Required: settings object
Example: {type: "updateSettings", settings: {executionOrder: "v1", timezone: "Europe/Berlin"}}
updateName - Rename workflow
Required: name
Example: {type: "updateName", name: "New Workflow Name"}
addTag/removeTag - Manage tags
Required: tag
Example: {type: "addTag", tag: "production"}
EXAMPLES:
Simple update:
operations: [
{type: "updateName", name: "My Updated Workflow"},
{type: "disableNode", nodeName: "Debug Node"}
]
Complex example - Add nodes and connect (any order works):
operations: [
{type: "addConnection", source: "Webhook", target: "Format Date"},
{type: "addNode", node: {id: "abc123", name: "Format Date", type: "n8n-nodes-base.dateTime", typeVersion: 2, position: [400, 300], parameters: {}}},
{type: "addConnection", source: "Format Date", target: "Logger"},
{type: "addNode", node: {id: "def456", name: "Logger", type: "n8n-nodes-base.n8n", typeVersion: 1, position: [600, 300], parameters: {}}}
]
Validation example:
{
id: "workflow-id",
operations: [{type: "addNode", node: {...}}],
validateOnly: true // Test without applying
}`,
