Disable Node — Node Reference

The Disable Node node permanently disables another node in the workflow. When executed, it sets the target node's active to false and persists the change. Use it for one-time operations like stopping a cron trigger after a condition is met.

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description

Use Case

Disable a Cron trigger after a condition is met so it no longer runs in future workflow executions.

  "type": "disableNode",
  "data": {

  }
}
