Stuck on ‘Paired Item’ Errors—When to Merge, Reduce, or Split in n8n?
I keep running into “Paired item data is unavailable” errors in n8n and I’m never 100 % sure when to merge, reduce, split in batches, or just reference .first() instead of .item.
If you’ve got a go-to checklist or best practices for:
- Merging branches that output different item counts
- Keeping indexes aligned after a Reduce / Aggregate
- Avoiding nulls when a branch returns zero items
…I’d really appreciate the guidance (and any sample screenshots)!
What rules do you follow to decide which merge strategy to use and where to stick Item Lists or SplitInBatches nodes?
Thanks a ton 🙏 – hoping to make these “paired item” headaches a thing of the past.
