v26.01: Understanding Node Types and Categories
Nodes are organized into categories based on their function in the workflow. Each category contains specific node types designed for particular data operations.
The system provides the following categories of nodes, with varying availability based on current release status:
- Working with AI Node
- Working with Calculation Node
- Working with Logical Node
- Working with Notification Node
- Working with Read Node
- Working with Write Node
Category |
Description |
|---|---|
All Types |
Displays all available nodes across all categories in a single comprehensive view. |
AI |
Contains nodes for artificial intelligence-powered operations. |
Calculation |
Contains nodes for data transformation and processing. |
Logical |
Contains nodes for conditional workflow logic. |
Notification |
Contains nodes for workflow notifications and alerts. |
Read |
Contains nodes for data input from various sources. |
Write |
Contains nodes for data output to various destinations. |
Accessing the Add Node Dialog
To open the Add Node dialog:
- Click Add Node in the Level 2 header.
- The Add Node dialog opens in the center of the canvas.
- A search bar appears at the top to filter node types.
- Categories display on the left side.
- Node types for the selected category display on the right side.
- Click X button to close the dialog.
Working with the Start Node
The Start node serves as the entry point for all workflow executions. Every workflow requires exactly one Start node, and it cannot be deleted.
Configuration Fields
Field |
Description |
Required |
|---|---|---|
Name |
Unique identifier for the node. Defaults to "Start" but can be customized. |
Yes |
Values/Variables |
Placeholder section for future functionality. Currently not operational. |
No |
The Start node only provides output connections. It does not accept input connections from other nodes. When subsequent nodes are added to the workflow, connectors automatically form from the Start node to create the data flow path.
