* Be specific in your data descriptions for accurate outputs.
* To extract a list of text, set the type to `List`.
## Example
The below example is a pipeline which extracts personal details such as name and address from a given text.
* Text Node: The text for extraction
* Extract Data Node: Provide the text and specify the fields for data extraction.
* Text for extraction: `{{text_0.text}}`
* Output Node: Display the extracted field from the Extract Data Node.
