# Join List Items Node
> Join list items into a single string
Joins a list of items into a single piece of text. For example, joining \[“a”, “b”, “c”] becomes: "abc".
## Node Inputs
1. Type: The type of list you want to create
* Type: `Dropdown`
2. List to Join: List of items to join as text
* Type: `List` (based on the type of list you choose)
3. Join Characters: Specified characters to join list items into a single string (e.g., if you were to join the above list using “@”, the output would be: a\@b@c.
* Type: `Text`
## Node Parameters
1. Join By Newline: Separate each element by a new line in the final output string.
You can either Join Characters or Join by Newline.
## Node Outputs
1. Output: List as a joined string.
* Type: `Text`
* Example usage: `{{join_list_item_0.joined_text}}`
## Example
The below example shows a pipeline that demonstrates the capabilities of the join list node. In the example, the join list item node takes in the list of text \["a", "b"] and outputs "ab".
1. Text Node: Contains string `a`
2. Text Node: Contains string `b`
3. Create List Node: Creates a list from the two strings
* Field 1: `{{text_0.text}}`
* Field 2: `{{text_1.text}}`
4. Join List Item Node: Joins the list into a single string
* List to Join: `{{create_list_0.output}}`
5. Output: The joined string
* Output: `{{join_list_item_0.joined_text}}`
