Make data stores, Set variable and Switch in n8n
Make's Tools and Data store modules hold small pieces of state and logic. The converter maps the tools to n8n's Edit Fields and Wait nodes, and data store records to the workflow's own static data.
What becomes what
| Make | In n8n | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Set variable, Set multiple variables | Edit Fields | Same names and values. |
| Compose a string | Edit Fields | One field named value. |
| Switch | Edit Fields | The cases become one expression: the first matching case gives the output, or the else value. Regular expression matching is kept. |
| Sleep | Wait | Same delay. |
| Data store: Add/replace, Update, Get, Delete, Check existence | Code with workflow static data | Keyed like Make's records. |
Check after converting
- Data store records are not in the blueprint: copy the ones you still need out of Make.
- Static data is saved in production runs, not in manual test runs, and belongs to one workflow. For data several workflows share, use an n8n Data Table.
