Node.js & n8n: Fix Data Parsing & Exception Handling in Integration
Worldwide
We have an n8n workflow pulling data from a third-party API and sending it to our custom Node.js backend for processing before inserting into a Postgres database. The third-party API occasionally returns malformed JSON (specifically, an EOF error). Currently, our Node.js script is failing silently. Instead of catching the error, it bubbles up and crashes the entire n8n execution thread mid-workflow. Scope of Work (Expected time: ~1 hour): - Wrap the JSON parsing and database insertion steps in proper try/catch blocks. - Add logging so we can see the broken payload in the console. - Make sure the script gracefully skips bad records and allows the rest of the workflow to continue running without crashing. - Quick verification that the fix works. Timeline: Must be completed within 24 hours. How to Apply: Please do not send a generic proposal. In your first sentence, simply explain how you would handle this silent crash in a Node.js async function to prevent the thread from dying. Looking forward to a quick fix!
