# Get Memory

Retrieve stored memory data from previous workflow executions. Returns the full memory content with all timestamped entries (newest first). Reading a memory extends its lifetime (resets the 7-day inactivity timer). Check 'exists' variable to handle missing memories gracefully. **Important: Only works in webhook-triggered and cron-triggered workflows** (not manual/test runs).

## When to use this node

Retrieve stored memory data from previous workflow executions. Returns the full memory content with all timestamped entries (newest first). Reading a memory extends its lifetime (resets the 7-day inactivity timer). Check 'exists' variable to handle missing memories gracefully. **Important: Only works in webhook-triggered and cron-triggered workflows** (not manual/test runs).

Add **Get Memory** to a workflow branch using the node picker. Configure its fields in the inspector, then connect the next step.

## Configure the fields

| Field | What to enter |
| --- | --- |
| **Memory Name** | Name of the memory to retrieve (must match the name used in Set Memory) |

## Use the result

Choose the output from the variable picker in a later step. Output names below identify the values supplied by this node; the picker inserts the correct reference for your node instance.

| Output | Meaning / label |
| --- | --- |
| `data` | Memory Data |
| `exists` | Memory Exists (true/false) |
| `lastUpdated` | Last Updated (ISO timestamp) |

## Connect the next step

Connect the continuation shown on the canvas. Some nodes calculate their branches from the configured options. Read each branch label in the editor and connect the paths your workflow needs.

## Test it in a workflow

1. Configure this node with a small, recognizable test input or a test resource.
2. Check the variables from preceding steps and the connection selected in the inspector.
3. Save the workflow. For event-driven flows, generate the actual event; use **Run** only for a Manual workflow.
4. Open **Workflow Activity** and check the outcome before enabling wider use.

## If something goes wrong

- Check empty variables, selected resource IDs, and any fields that appeared after resource selection.
- Check the failed step in Workflow Activity before retrying. If the action may already have completed, inspect the destination first to avoid duplicates.
- Follow the [troubleshooting guide](/help/troubleshooting/) for a symptom-by-symptom checklist.
