About Structured Output Parser
Structured Output Parser is an n8n node that takes raw text output from a language model and converts it into structured JSON data you can use in downstream workflow nodes. Large language models return free-form text by default, which is difficult to route, filter, or insert into databases. This node solves that by defining a schema — the fields and data types you expect — and parsing the model output to match that structure.
This is essential for any workflow where AI-generated content needs to feed into other systems. If you ask an LLM to extract invoice details, categorise support tickets, or summarise documents, the Structured Output Parser ensures you get clean, typed fields like “amount”, “category”, or “summary” rather than unpredictable free text. It validates the output against your schema and handles formatting inconsistencies that language models frequently introduce.
Osher Digital uses Structured Output Parser in nearly every AI agent workflow we build. In our patient data entry automation, parsing unstructured clinical notes into structured database fields was the core challenge. The same pattern applies to data processing pipelines and RPA workflows where AI output needs to slot into existing business systems. If your team is struggling to get reliable, structured data out of language models, our AI consultants know how to design schemas and prompts that produce consistent results.

How it works
We work hand-in-hand with you to implement Structured Output Parser
As Structured Output Parser 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 Structured Output Parser with integrate and automate 800+ tools.
Step 1
Identify the fields you need from AI output
Before configuring the node, define exactly what structured data you need. List out each field name, its data type, and a clear description. For example, for invoice parsing you might need vendor_name (string), amount (number), and due_date (string).
Step 2
Add Structured Output Parser to your workflow
Place the Structured Output Parser node in your workflow, connected to a language model chain or agent node. It acts as the output parser component that processes whatever the LLM returns into your desired format.
Step 3
Define your output schema
In the node configuration, add each field with its name, type, and description. The descriptions help guide the language model to return the right data for each field. Be specific — “the total invoice amount in AUD” works better than just “amount”.
Step 4
Connect to your language model node
Link the Structured Output Parser as the output parser for your LLM Chain or AI Agent node. The parser will automatically inject schema instructions into the prompt sent to the model, telling it what format to use.
Step 5
Test with representative input data
Run the workflow with sample inputs that represent your real-world data. Check that all schema fields are populated correctly and that data types match what you defined. Pay attention to edge cases like missing information or ambiguous text.
Step 6
Add error handling for unparseable responses
Connect an error branch to handle cases where the model output cannot be parsed into your schema. Log these failures for review and consider adding retry logic or fallback prompts for inputs that consistently fail to parse correctly.
