Two patterns, five services, one n8n workflow

The first two articles in this series each showed one technique. Implementation notes #001 was a dynamic dropdown — a form field that fills itself from an API. Implementation notes #002 was a dynamic credential — an API key that arrives from the form and threads through to the HTTP nodes. This article is the capstone. It walks through all-services-demo , the example workflow that ships with n8n-nodes-ldxhub , where those two techniques combine with a Switch node to host five different AI document-processing services inside one workflow — structured extraction, translation refinement, OCR, PDF conversion, and text extraction. The screenshots and the workflow JSON below come from the n8n-nodes-ldxhub package. The patterns themselves are generic — they work for any set of services you want to consolidate into a single template. This is not a "follow these steps" article. It's a parts catalog. No two readers are solving the same problem, and templates rarely fit anyone's situation as-is. Take what fits. Drop the rest. You don't need to understand all 46 nodes to reuse the patterns. The shape The workflow has 46 nodes — large enough to look intimidating in the editor, but structurally it's just five repeated paths plus a small routing section. The entry section is two nodes: On form submission — the trigger. Asks the user which service they want and collects an API key. Route by Service — a Switch node with five outputs, one per service. Everything to the right of the Switch is service-specific. Five paths fan out: StructFlow, RefineLoop, RenderOCR, CastDoc, ExtractDoc. Each path ends in two Form Ending nodes — one for success (auto-downloads the result), one for error. That's the spine: form → switch → service path → ending. The complexity is pushed into the service paths. The spine: routing by static comparison The Switch node ("Route by Service") uses Rules mode. Each rule reads the same expression from the form — {{ $json.service }} — and compares it to a static serv
