TextInput

What is it?

The TextInput node is a simple way to input text for use in workflows.

When would I use it?

Use the TextInput node when:

• You need to create text content
• You want to prepare text input for other nodes in your workflow
• You need to define prompts, instructions, or other multi-paragraph content
• You're building workflows that require structured text input

How to use it

Basic Setup

1. Add a TextInput node to your workflow
2. Set the "text" parameter with your desired multiline content
3. Connect the output to nodes that accept text input

Parameters

• text: The multiline text content (string, defaults to empty string)

Outputs

• text: The multiline text content as a string

Example

A workflow to create a prompt for an AI assistant:

1. Add a TextInput node to your workflow

2. Set the "text" parameter to:

   You are a helpful tour guide assistant.
   Please provide information about the following location:
   - History of the place
   - Main attractions
   - Best time to visit
   - Local cuisine
   

3. Connect the output to an Agent node's prompt parameter

Important Notes

• Line breaks are preserved in the output
• The node supports any valid string content
• Empty strings are valid input and will produce an empty string output
• There is no character limit, but extremely large text blocks may impact performance

Common Issues

• Text formatting issues when copying from different sources (check for unexpected characters)
• Line breaks might render differently in different env
