n8n-nodes-execute-workflow-async

Custom n8n community node that mirrors the built-in Execute Sub-workflow node with additional option to execute sub-workflows in async mode gathering results at the end. In such case batching is recommended.

Usage

Structure

• nodes/ExecuteWorkflow/ — Node implementation
  • ExecuteWorkflow.node.ts — Base file (description + execute() stub)
  • ExecuteWorkflow.node.json — Codex metadata
• package.json — Package and n8n node registration
• tsconfig.json — TypeScript build config

Development

npm install
npm run build
npm run dev   # run n8n with this node loaded

Customization

The node currently has:

• Source: Database, Local File, Parameter, URL (parameters only; resolution not implemented)
• Mode: Run once with all items / Run once for each item
• Option: Wait for sub-workflow completion

execute() is a stub that returns the input items unchanged. Implement workflow resolution and execution here to match or diverge from the built-in Execute Workflow behavior.

Adding an icon

Place executeWorkflow.svg in nodes/ExecuteWorkflow/ (or adjust the icon path in the node description) so the node shows a custom icon in n8n.
