Compare Lists and Identify Common Items & Differences Using Custom Keys

This workflow compares two lists of objects (List A and List B) using a user-specified key (e.g. email, id, domain) and returns:

Items common to both lists (based on the key) Items only in List A Items only in List B

How it works: Accepts a JSON input containing: listA: the first list of items listB: the second list of items key: the field name to use for comparison Performs a field-based comparison using the specified key Returns a structured output: common: items with matching keys (only one version retained) onlyInA: items found only in List A onlyInB: items found only in List B

Example Input: { "key": "email", "listA": [ { "email": "alice@example.com", "name": "Alice" }, { "email": "bob@example.com", "name": "Bob" } ], "listB": [ { "email": "bob@example.com", "name": "Bobby" }, { "email": "carol@example.com", "name": "Carol" } ] }

Output: common: [ { "email": "bob@example.com", "name": "Bob" } ] onlyInA: [ { "email": "alice@example.com", "name": "Alice" } ] onlyInB: [ { "email": "carol@example.com", "name": "Carol" } ]

Use Cases: Deduplicate data between two sources Find overlapping records Identify new or missing entries across systems

This workflow is useful for internal data auditing, list reconciliation, transaction reconciliation, or pre-processing sync jobs.
