Item Lists Node

The Item Lists node performs operations on the list of items flowing through your workflow -- splitting, deduplicating, sorting, summarizing, and more.

Operations

OperationDescription
Concatenate ItemsCombine all input items into a single item with an array field
LimitKeep only the first N items
Remove DuplicatesRemove items with duplicate field values
SortReorder items by one or more field values
SummarizeAggregate values across items (sum, average, count, min, max, etc.)
Split Out ItemsSplit an array field into separate items

Common Parameters

ParameterDescription
FieldThe field name to operate on (for sort, dedupe, split)
Destination FieldOutput field name for the result
OptionsOperation-specific settings (varies per operation)

Sort Options

OptionDescription
Sort by FieldSort ascending or descending by a specified field
Multiple FieldsSort by primary, secondary, etc. fields

Summarize Aggregations

Sum, Average, Count, Count Unique, Min, Max, Concatenate, and more.

Limitations

  • "Sort by Code" not supported -- The custom code sort mode is unavailable. Use "Sort by field" instead, or use a separate Sort node with code mode.

Tips

  • For simple operations, prefer the dedicated nodes (Sort, Limit, Remove Duplicates) for clarity
  • Item Lists is useful when you need multiple operations in sequence without adding extra nodes
