Ensure the number of labels matches the number of data points.\n* **Use Real Data Sources:** Replace the `Edit Fields: Set JSON data to test` node with nodes that fetch data from real sources like:\n    * HTTP Request (APIs)\n    * Postgres / MongoDB nodes (Databases)\n    * Google Sheets node\n    * Ensure the output data from your source node is formatted similarly (providing `labels` and `salesData` arrays). You might need another Set node to structure the data correctly before the QuickChart node.\n* **Change Chart Type:** In the QuickChart node, modify the `Chart Type` parameter (e.g., change from `line` to `bar`, `pie`, `doughnut`, etc.).\n* **Customize Chart Appearance:** Explore the `Chart Options` parameter within the QuickChart node to add titles, change colors, modify axes, etc., using QuickChart's standard JSON configuration options.\n* **Use Datasets (Recommended for Complex Charts):** For multiple lines/bars or more control, configure datasets explicitly in the QuickChart node:\n    * Remove the expression from the top-level `Data` field.\n    * Go to `Dataset Options` -&gt; `Add option` -&gt; `Add dataset`.\n    * Set the `Data` field within the dataset using an expression like `{{ $json.jsonData.salesData }}`.\n    * You can add multiple datasets this way.\n* **Change Output Destination:** Replace the `Google Drive: Upload File` node with other nodes to handle the chart image differently:\n    * `Write Binary File`: Save the chart to the local filesystem where n8n is running.\n    * `Slack` / `Discord` / `Telegram`: Send the chart to messaging platforms.\n    * `Move Binary Data`: Convert the image to Base64 to embed in HTML or return via webhook response."}, "typeVersion": 1, "notes": "This stickyNote node performs automated tasks as part of the workflow."}, {"id": "1af3cfc6-f690-4af2-a812-4a4da118a55c", "name": "When clicking \u2018Test workflow\u2019", "type": "n8n-nodes-base.manualTrigger", "position": [-400, -40], "parameters": {}, "typeVersion": 1, "notes": "This manualTrigger node performs automated tasks as part of the workflow."}, {"id": "error-1199c67a", "name": "Error Handler", "type": "n8n-nodes-base.stopAndError", "typeVersion": 1, "position": [1000, 400], "parameters": {"message": "Workflow execution error", "options": {}}}], "pinData": {}, "connections": {"393665db-f6a6-4294-afd8-3a9f32192c64": {"main": [[{"node": "error-handler-393665db-f6a6-4294-afd8-3a9f32192c64-53a029f5", "type": "main", "index": 0}]]}}, "name": "Quickchart Workflow", "settings": {"executionOrder": "v1", "saveManualExecutions": true, "callerPolicy": "workflowsFromSameOwner", "errorWorkflow": null, "timezone": "UTC", "executionTimeout": 3600, "maxExecutions": 1000, "retryOnFail": true, "retryCount": 3, "retryDelay": 1000}, "description": "Automated workflow: Quickchart Workflow.
