About Sticky Note
Sticky Note is one of n8n’s most underrated workflow nodes — a simple but powerful way to annotate, document, and organise your automation canvas. If you’ve ever returned to a workflow after a few weeks and had no idea what a particular branch was doing, Sticky Note solves that problem. It lets you pin context directly onto the canvas so your team (and your future self) can understand the logic at a glance.
For businesses running dozens of automated workflows across departments, documentation becomes critical. Sticky Note acts as inline commentary, allowing you to label sections, explain decision logic, flag areas that need review, or note dependencies on external systems. This is particularly valuable when multiple team members collaborate on the same n8n instance, as it reduces onboarding time and prevents accidental changes to sensitive workflow branches.
At Osher, we use Sticky Note extensively in client projects to keep business automation workflows maintainable over time. Whether you’re building a simple file-processing pipeline or a complex multi-step integration, adding Sticky Notes at key decision points makes your workflows production-ready rather than just functional. It’s a small habit that pays off significantly when you need to troubleshoot or hand off a workflow to someone else.

How it works
We work hand-in-hand with you to implement Sticky Note
As Sticky Note consultants we work with you hand in hand build more efficient and effective operations. Here’s how we will work with you to automate your business and integrate Sticky Note with integrate and automate 800+ tools.
Step 1
Open Your n8n Workflow
Navigate to the n8n workflow editor where you want to add documentation. You can add Sticky Notes to both new and existing workflows at any stage of development.
Step 2
Add a Sticky Note Node
Right-click on the canvas or use the node panel to add a Sticky Note. Position it near the group of nodes you want to document — dragging it behind related nodes creates a visual grouping effect.
Step 3
Write Your Annotation
Click on the Sticky Note and type your documentation. Keep it concise and focus on explaining why a section exists rather than what each node does individually. Include any external dependencies or API details worth noting.
Step 4
Resize and Position
Drag the edges of the Sticky Note to resize it so it visually encompasses the nodes it describes. This creates clear visual sections in your workflow and makes the canvas much easier to navigate.
Step 5
Add Notes to Key Decision Points
Focus your documentation on IF/Switch nodes, error handlers, and any nodes with complex configurations. These are the areas where future editors are most likely to need context about your design decisions.
Step 6
Review and Maintain
Periodically review your Sticky Notes when you update workflows to ensure they still reflect current logic. Outdated documentation can be worse than no documentation, so treat notes as part of your regular workflow maintenance.
