What this workflow does
What this workflow does This template demonstrates how to perform unit-aware calculations with automatic unit conversion using the CalcsLive community node. It shows three calculation patterns: Speed calculation: Convert distance and time into velocity (km → km/h) Cylinder volume: Calculate volume from diameter and height (cm → Liters) Chained calculations: Pass output from one calculation as input to another (Volume → Mass) Workflow Screenshot CalcsLive Articles Used You can view and customize each calculation article in the CalcsLive editor: | Calculation | Article ID | Link | |-------------|------------|------| | Speed Calc | 3M6P9TF5P-3XA | Open in Editor | | Cylinder Volume | 3M6P9TF5P-3XA | Open in Editor | | Mass Calc | 3M6PBGU7S-3CA | Open in Editor | Note: Speed and Cylinder Volume use the same multi-purpose article (3M6P9TF5P-3XA), demonstrating how one article can serve multiple calculation needs. Meanwhile, Cylinder Volume and Mass Calc are chained together as composables - the volume output feeds directly into the mass calculation. This pattern offers both flexibility and power for complex workflows. Seamless Data Flow An implicit but powerful feature: full unit freedom - input data flows seamlessly through the workflow. The "Set" nodes prepare data that CalcsLive nodes consume directly via expressions. CalcsLive then delivers outputs in your specified units, ready to feed downstream nodes. Both inputs and outputs integrate naturally with n8n's data model - no transformation needed. Why use CalcsLive? 570+ units** across 67+ categories with automatic conversion No formula coding** - use pre-built calculation articles Chain calculations** - output from one calc feeds into another Unit flexibility** - input in any unit, get output in your preferred unit Prerequisites Install the CalcsLive community node: @calcslive/n8n-nodes-calcslive Get an API key from calcslive.com (free tier available) Create CalcsLive API credentials in n8n How to use Import this workflow Configure your CalcsLive API credentials Click "Execute workflow" to see the calculations run Modify the input values in the "Set" nodes to test different scenarios Example use cases E-commerce**: Calculate shipping costs based on package dimensions and weight Manufacturing**: Convert between metric and imperial units in production workflows IoT**: Process sensor data with proper unit handling Engineering**: Chain multiple physics calculations together Resources CalcsLive - n8n Integration npm Package GitHub Repository.
