Random Number Node

The Random Number Node generates a random integer within a range of your choosing.

Configuration

The node takes three parameters, all of which are required.

Minimum Value Template and Maximum Value Template are each a number or a string template resolving to a numerical value on your payload. The randomly generated number is inclusive of the defined minimum and maximum values; for example, if 0 is set as the minimum value, then 0 is a possible output from the node.

The Result Path is a payload path stipulating where on the payload the resulting number should be stored.

Node Failure Cases

If the node cannot generate a random number (for example, when the minimum or maximum value is not a number, or when the minimum value is greater than the maximum value), the result stored on the payload at the result path will be NaN. The workflow continues; the node does not halt or trigger an error path. Some cases where this occurs:

• The minimum or maximum value is not a number. The node attempts to type the value to a number (for example, a string of "1" will type to the number 1), but if that fails, the result will be NaN.
• The minimum value is greater than the maximum value. No valid random number can exist in that range.
• There are no integers between the minimum and maximum values. For example, if a minimum value of 1.3 and a maximum value of 1.9 are passed, the result will be NaN because there is no integer between the two values.
