Validate Records

Checks each record against a JSON Schema and tags it valid or invalid.

Nodes › LogicOpen in Neblex

Good for: Routing good and bad records apart
Role: Works on the records in a flow
Find it in: Nodes › Logic

When to use it

Records must match an agreed structure, such as required fields, types and allowed values, before they reach a destination.
Valid and invalid records should take different paths, for example invalid ones to a list someone reviews.

Reach for something else when

Assert Data QualityWhen a batch that breaks the rules should stop the run.FilterWhen a simple condition decides which records continue.

Example

Check each incoming order against your order schema. Valid orders go to Salesforce; invalid ones go to a Data Table together with the rule they broke.

How it works

Settings: JSON Schema (types, required fields, properties, list items, allowed values, lengths and ranges, patterns, and allOf, anyOf, oneOf, not); Field to check (empty checks the whole record).
Output: Every record is kept and tagged _valid (true/false) and _validation_error (the first rule it broke, or null). The node shows two outputs, Valid and Invalid, to send each kind down its own path.

Drag from the previous step's output handle to its input, then open its settings with ✎ Edit.
Run the flow and click the step to see the records it received and produced.
