Simplifying Workflow by Merging Branch Outputs
I have a workflow with node branch that leads to different API POST requests, with the only difference being the body content. After these API calls, the workflow is the same, using the POST request output as input for the subsequent nodes.
I want to avoid duplicating the subsequent nodes for each branch. Is there a way to merge the paths back together so that the output from either branch can be used in the same steps without duplication? I'm looking for a way to simplify the workflow after the branching and efficiently use the API response for the next steps.

To achieve this, you can use the Branch node to conditionally execute different API POST requests and then merge the paths back together. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to do this:
1. Use the Branch Node: Set up your Branch node to evaluate the condition and execute different API POST requests based on the condition.
2. Store API Responses: Store the responses from each API POST request in a variable or a context that can be accessed later.
3. Merge Paths: Use a single node to handle the subsequent steps, utilizing the stored API response from the previous steps....

This way, you avoid duplicating the subsequent nodes for each branch.
For more detailed information on how to use the Branch node, you can refer to the Branch Node Documentation.
