Automated Mock Data Generation Workflow

This n8n workflow is designed to generate and process mock data for testing or development purposes without relying on external dependencies or code. It starts with a manual trigger, allowing users to initiate data creation on demand. The workflow then uses a Code node to produce a predefined set of sample data entries, each containing a first name, last name, and occupation. These data entries are then split into individual items which are further processed through Set nodes to assign specific fields.

Additional nodes sort and limit the data, ensuring only a specified number of records are processed, and generate email addresses based on the created names. Throughout the workflow, sticky notes are used for documentation, explaining each step’s purpose, and suggesting potential customizations like deriving additional information from existing data.

This setup is particularly useful for developers and testers who need consistent mock data to test workflows, APIs, or integrations within WordPress or other systems. It exemplifies a simple, code-free approach to generate, customize, and control mock data flow efficiently.
