Live prices — WebSocket

Every message a connected WebSocket client sends becomes one run — here a price quote gets enriched and logged. Deployed, clients connect to ws://host/ticker.

What’s inside

3 nodes — every type links to its full reference page.

Step	Node	Type
ws://…/ticker	WebSocket Trigger	`input.websocket`
Quote spread	Edit Fields (Set)	`processing.set`
Quote board	Console	`utility.console`

Import it

Studio → Import — paste the JSON below (or the URL /docs/templates/live-prices-websocket.json).

Or ask the AI Copilot with the JSON pasted after the phrase:

import this workflow json into a new workflow named "Live prices — WebSocket"

Any credentials the nodes need are ${credential.…} references — add them once in Admin → Credentials and the template picks them up. Nothing secret ships in a template.
