1.1 Workflow description

Title
Domain extractor
Workflow name
Domain extractor

This node is designed to cleanse URLs and extract their domain names efficiently.

It effectively handles a wide range of URL formats, including those with unconventional or complex top-level domains (TLDs), such as 'co.uk'.

You can also use it to extract the domain from an email. The node will also check if the domain is from a free email provider (gmail.com / outlook.com...etc) or not.

How It Works

The node analyzes the provided URL, removing any unnecessary elements.

It then identifies and extracts the domain name, ensuring compatibility with a diverse array of TLDs.

The node utilizes an extensive list of TLDs to guarantee accurate domain extraction for virtually any URL.

To view the complete list of supported top-level domains, please visit: TLD List on GitHub

How to use it

Call this workflow using the "execute workflow" node

You can pass either an email variable or a url variable.

For email, the node also detect free mail provider such as Yahoo / Google...etc

  2. 2. Import the template into n8n

    Open n8n, import the downloaded JSON, and review each node before activating the workflow.

  3. 3. Configure credentials and variables

    Replace placeholder credentials, API keys, webhook URLs, account IDs, and environment-specific values with your own settings.

  4. 4. Test with sample data

    Run the workflow manually or in a staging workspace, inspect node output, and confirm downstream systems receive the expected data.

  5. 5. Activate and monitor

    Enable the workflow only after testing, then monitor executions, errors, and rate limits during the first production runs.

5. General Notes & Resources

Review imported nodes carefully before activation. This catalog entry is intended to help you inspect the workflow structure, understand required services, and find related templates faster.

Node names, credentials, schedules, webhook paths, and external service limits may need adjustment for your workspace.
