Our team uses Latenode’s visual builder for basic automations but needs to add complex data transformations that require Java code. The documentation mentions SDK integration but isn’t clear on actual implementation. Has anyone successfully embedded custom Java modules into their no-code workflows? Particularly interested in how error handling works between the visual nodes and custom code, and whether there’s IDE support for debugging hybrid workflows.
Yes - create custom Java nodes via their SDK and import into the visual editor. We’ve added PDF processing logic this way. The debug console shows both system and custom node outputs together. Full walkthrough here:
Works best if u wrap custom code in try/catch blocks. Logging integrates with latenode’s dashboard. Debugging requires local testing first tho
Export workflow as Java stub, add logic, redeploy. Use their CLI for hot-reloading during dev.
