Pro Tips for n8n + Claude

Dynamic Prompts Use Karo: Claude ke prompt mein n8n expressions inject karo. Analyze this lead: Name: {{ $json.name }}, Company: {{ $json.company }}, Message: {{ $json.message }} — yeh Claude ko actual data ke saath kaam karne deta hai.
System Prompt Mein Role Define Karo: System message mein Claude ko specific role do: "You are a sales analyst for a B2B SaaS company. Always output in JSON format with fields: score (1-10), reason, recommended_action."
JSON Output Request Karo: Agar Claude ka output agle node mein data ki tarah use karna hai, prompt mein specifically bolo: "Respond ONLY with valid JSON. No explanation." Phir n8n mein JSON Parse node use karo.
Error Handling Add Karo: Claude API call kabhi kabhi fail ho sakti hai. n8n mein "Error Trigger" node add karo aur failure cases handle karo — retry logic ya fallback workflow.
