+
+**Scenario**: Form submission webhook posts to Slack
+
+**Workflow**: Webhook → Slack
+
+**Webhook Input** (POST):
+```json
+{
+  "name": "John Doe",
+  "email": "john@example.com",
+  "company": "Acme Corp",
+  "message": "Interested in your product"
+}
+```
+
+**Webhook Node Output**:
+```json
+{
+  "headers": {"content-type": "application/json"},
+  "params": {},
+  "query": {},
+  "body": {
+    "name": "John Doe",
+    "email": "john@example.com",
+    "company": "Acme Corp",
+    "message": "Interested in your product"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**In Slack Node** (text field):
+```
+New form submission! 📝
+
+Name: {{$json.body.name}}
+Email: {{$json.body.email}}
+Company: {{$json.body.company}}
+Message: {{$json.body.message}}
+```
+
+**Output**:
+```
+New form submission! 📝

+
+## Example 2: HTTP API to Database
+
+**Scenario**: Fetch user data from API and insert into database
+
+**Workflow**: Schedule → HTTP Request → Postgres
+
+**HTTP Request Returns**:
+```json
+{
+  "data": {
+    "users": [
+      {
+        "id": 123,
+        "name": "Alice Smith",
+        "email": "alice@example.com",
+        "role": "admin"
+      }
+    ]
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**In Postgres Node** (INSERT statement):
+```sql
+INSERT INTO users (user_id, name, email, role, synced_at)
+VALUES (
+  {{$json.data.users[0].id}},
+  '{{$json.data.users[0].name}}',
+  '{{$json.data.users[0].email}}',
+  '{{$json.data.users[0].role}}',
+  '{{$now.toFormat('yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss')}}'
+)
+```
+
+**Result**: User inserted with current timestamp
+

+
+## Example 3: Multi-Node Data Flow
+
+**Scenario**: Webhook → HTTP Request → Email
+
+**Workflow Structure**:
+1. Webhook receives order ID
+2. HTTP Request fetches order details
+3. Email sends confirmation
+
+### Node 1: Webhook
+
+**Receives**:
+```json
+{
+  "body": {
+    "order_id": "ORD-12345"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Node 2: HTTP Request
+
+**URL field**:
+```
+https://api.example.com/orders/{{$json.body.order_id}}
+```
+
+**Returns**:
+```json
+{
+  "order": {
+    "id": "ORD-12345",
+    "customer": "Bob Jones",
+    "total": 99.99,
+    "items": ["Widget", "Gadget"]
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Node 3: Email
+
+**Subject**:
+```
+Order {{$node["Webhook"].json.body.order_id}} Confirmed
+```
+
+**Body**:
+```
+Dear {{$node["HTTP Request"].json.order.customer}},
+
+Your order {{$node["Webhook"].json.body.order_id}} has been confirmed!
+
+Total: ${{$node["HTTP Request"].json.order.total}}
+Items: {{$node["HTTP Request"].json.order.items.join(', ')}}
+
+Thank you for your purchase!
+```
+
+**Email Result**:
+```
+Subject: Order ORD-12345 Confirmed
+
+Dear Bob Jones,
+
+Your order ORD-12345 has been confirmed!
+
+Total: $99.99
+Items: Widget, Gadget
+
+Thank you for your purchase!
+```

+
+## Example 4: Date Formatting
+
+**Scenario**: Various date format outputs
+
+**Current Time**: 2025-10-20 14:30:45
+
+### ISO Format
+```javascript
+{{$now.toISO()}}
+```
+**Output**: `2025-10-20T14:30:45.000Z`
+
+### Custom Date Format
+```javascript
+{{$now.toFormat('yyyy-MM-dd')}}
+```
+**Output**: `2025-10-20`
+
+### Time Only
+```javascript
+{{$now.toFormat('HH:mm:ss')}}
+```
+**Output**: `14:30:45`
+
+### Full Readable Format
+```javascript
+{{$now.toFormat('MMMM dd, yyyy')}}
+```
+**Output**: `October 20, 2025`
+
+### Date Math - Future
+```javascript
+{{$now.plus({days: 7}).toFormat('yyyy-MM-dd')}}
+```
+**Output**: `2025-10-27`
+
+### Date Math - Past
+```javascript
+{{$now.minus({hours: 24}).toFormat('yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm')}}
+```
+**Output**: `2025-10-19 14:30`

+    {"name": "Charlie", "email": "charlie@example.com"}
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+### First User
+```javascript
+{{$json.users[0].name}}
+```
+**Output**: `Alice`
+
+### Last User

+{{$json.users[$json.users.length - 1].name}}
+```
+**Output**: `Charlie`
+
+### All Emails (Join)
+```javascript
+{{$json.users.map(u => u.email).join(', ')}}
+```
+**Output**: `alice@example.com, bob@example.com, charlie@example.com`
+
+### Array Length
+```javascript
+{{$json.users.length}}
+```
+**Output**: `3`
+

+
+**Data**:
+```json
+{
+  "order": {
+    "status": "completed",
+    "total": 150
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Ternary Operator
+```javascript
+{{$json.order.status === 'completed' ? 'Order Complete ✓' : 'Pending...'}}
+```
+**Output**: `Order Complete ✓`
+
+### Default Values
+```javascript
+{{$json.order.notes || 'No notes provided'}}
+```
+**Output**: `No notes provided` (if notes field doesn't exist)
+
+### Multiple Conditions
+```javascript
+{{$json.order.total > 100 ? 'Premium Customer' : 'Standard Customer'}}
+```
+**Output**: `Premium Customer`
+

+
+## Example 7: String Manipulation
+
+**Data**:
+```json
+{
+  "user": {
+    "email": "JOHN@EXAMPLE.COM",
+    "message": "  Hello World  "
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Lowercase
+```javascript
+{{$json.user.email.toLowerCase()}}
+```
+**Output**: `john@example.com`
+
+### Uppercase
+```javascript
+{{$json.user.message.toUpperCase()}}
+```
+**Output**: `  HELLO WORLD  `
+
+### Trim
+```javascript
+{{$json.user.message.trim()}}
+```
+**Output**: `Hello World`
+
+### Substring
+```javascript
+{{$json.user.email.substring(0, 4)}}
+```
+**Output**: `JOHN`
+
+### Replace
+```javascript

+
+## Example 8: Fields with Spaces
+
+**Data**:
+```json
+{
+  "user data": {
+    "first name": "Jane",
+    "last name": "Doe",
+    "phone number": "+1234567890"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Bracket Notation
+```javascript
+{{$json['user data']['first name']}}
+```
+**Output**: `Jane`
+
+### Combined
+```javascript
+{{$json['user data']['first name']}} {{$json['user data']['last name']}}
+```
+**Output**: `Jane Doe`
+
+### Nested Spaces
+```javascript
+Contact: {{$json['user data']['phone number']}}
+```
+**Output**: `Contact: +1234567890`
+
+---
+
+## Example 9: Code Node (Direct Access)
+
+**Code Node**: Transform webhook data
+
+**Input** (from Webhook node):
+```json
+{
+  "body": {
+    "items": ["apple", "banana", "cherry"]
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**Code** (JavaScript):
+```javascript
+// ✅ Direct access (no {{ }})
+const items = $json.body.items;
+
+// Transform to uppercase
+const uppercased = items.map(item => item.toUpperCase());
+
+// Return in n8n format
+return [{
+  json: {
+    original: items,
+    transformed: uppercased,
+    count: items.length
+  }
+}];
+```
+
+**Output**:
+```json
+{
+  "original": ["apple", "banana", "cherry"],
+  "transformed": ["APPLE", "BANANA", "CHERRY"],
+  "count": 3
+}
+```
+

+
+## Example 10: Environment Variables
+
+**Setup**: Environment variable `API_KEY=secret123`
+
+### In HTTP Request (Headers)
+```javascript
+Authorization: Bearer {{$env.API_KEY}}
+```
+**Result**: `Authorization: Bearer secret123`
+
+### In URL
+```javascript
+https://api.example.com/data?key={{$env.API_KEY}}
+```
+**Result**: `https://api.example.com/data?key=secret123`
+

+
+## Template from Real Workflow
+
+**Based on n8n template #2947** (Weather to Slack)
+
+### Workflow Structure
+Webhook → OpenStreetMap API → Weather API → Slack
+
+### Webhook Slash Command
+**Input**: `/weather London`
+
+**Webhook receives**:
+```json
+{
+  "body": {
+    "text": "London"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### OpenStreetMap API
+**URL**:
+```
+https://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/search?q={{$json.body.text}}&format=json
+```
+
+### Weather API (NWS)
+**URL**:
+```
+https://api.weather.gov/points/{{$node["OpenStreetMap"].json[0].lat}},{{$node["OpenStreetMap"].json[0].lon}}
+```
+
+### Slack Message
+```
+Weather for {{$json.body.text}}:
+
+Temperature: {{$node["Weather API"].json.properties.temperature.value}}°C
+Conditions: {{$node["Weather API"].json.properties.shortForecast}}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Summary
+
+**Key Patterns**:
+1. Webhook data is under `.body`
+2. Use `{{}}` for expressions (except Code nodes)
+3. Reference other nodes with `$node["Node Name"].json`
+4. Use brackets for field names with spaces
+5. Node names are case-sensitive
+
+**Most Common Uses**:
+- `{{$json.body.field}}` - Webhook data
+- `{{$node["Name"].json.field}}` - Other node data
+- `{{$now.toFormat('yyyy-MM-dd')}}` - Timestamps
+- `{{$json.array[0].field}}` - Array access
+- `{{$json.field || 'default'}}` - Default values
