Merge Ingredient and Band Lists

Learn matching, enrichment, and append operations with ingredient and musician examples.

Setup and use

Run the workflow manually to see the three examples. In n8n, the input lists are in the six Code nodes; in Open Flow, edit Match, enrich, and append to experiment with the sample data.

Behavior

Keep needed ingredients that also appear in the stock list: Eggs, Lemon, and Sugar.
Add matching recipe quantities to the ingredient list. Milk has no match and remains without a quantity; Salt has no corresponding ingredient and is omitted.
Append the Led Zeppelin sample list after the Queen sample list, preserving every record and its fields.

The musician names and instruments are source sample data. The examples demonstrate list operations and do not verify biographical facts. The fixed examples use unique names; adapting them to duplicate match keys may require a different join implementation.

Changes to the source

Open Flow combines the sample lists and three operations in one Code node and returns three arrays.

Adapted from Aggregating data with the Merge node in Zie619/n8n-workflows. The source export does not identify a separate template author or license.

The collection’s MIT notice is pinned at a later revision. This is the collection notice at that revision; it does not establish a separate original template author’s license. Our changes are listed above; see repository licensing.
