Component description
How the Note component works
Component: Note
The Note component is a utility element designed to help users add descriptive text or comments directly into their AI workflow. This can be helpful for documenting the purpose, logic, or important considerations about specific parts of a flow, making your workflow more understandable and maintainable for yourself or collaborators.
Purpose
- Documentation: Allows users to insert notes or explanations anywhere within a flow, serving as in-line documentation.
- Collaboration: Facilitates teamwork by enabling users to leave messages or instructions for other users who may work with or review the workflow.
- Organization: Helps structure complex flows by providing context or reminders at key points in the process.
Inputs and Outputs
| Name | Type | Description | Required | Multiple Lines |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| my_note | String | The content of your note (textual comment) | No | Yes |
Inputs:
- The component accepts a text input, which can be entered in multiple lines. This input is not required, so you can leave it empty if you wish.
- The input type is flexible and designed to accept messages or comments.
Outputs:

Key Features

- Traceability: Notes can be traced as input or as metadata, allowing for better tracking and reference within the workflow.
- Display: Notes are visible within the flow, making them easy to find and read.

Use Cases
- Onboarding: Help new team members understand the workflow by providing context or pointers.
- Versioning: Annotate changes or reasons for updates at specific points in the flow.
- Debugging: Leave troubleshooting tips or explanations about non-obvious logic for future reference.
