Automated Command Execution with Conditional Logic in n8n

This n8n workflow automates executing a shell command and processes its output to make decisions based on the result. The workflow begins by running a command that echoes a JSON string with specific values. The output of this command is then processed and parsed into a JSON object via a Function node. Following this, an If node evaluates a boolean condition within the parsed data, enabling subsequent actions based on whether the condition is true or false.

The logic structure allows users to automate decision-making processes based on command-line outputs, making it useful in scenarios such as system monitoring, automated testing, or triggering further workflows depending on command results. For example, if a system check returns a specific value, the workflow can proceed with additional operations or alerts. This setup simplifies integrating shell commands and condition-based workflows into larger automation pipelines.
