Text The text node allows you to write text to send to downstream nodes. Use a text node when you want to input raw text that does not change between runs into your pipeline.

​
Node Inputs

Text: The text to send to downstream nodes
  • Type: Text
You can write text directly in the editable text field and/or use variables to reference text from other nodes (reference variables by typing {{ in the field).

​
Node Parameters

The text node does not have any parameters.

​
Node Outputs

  1. Text: The text to send to downstream nodes
    • Type: Text
    • Example usage: {{text_0.text}}

​
Considerations

Common use cases for the Text node:
  • Templating: A pipeline that writes custom emails. However, the email always has the same content except for one sentence that is generated by the LLM. You use the text node to store the template and use a variable for the generated sentence.
  • Static data: Link to the same website URL that you want to scrape with each run.

​
Example

Pipeline to generate custom emails with a text node storing an email template.
  1. Input Node: Allows for the Name of the recipient
  2. LLM Node: Generate the email
    • System (Instructions): Generate a sentence that greets a potential customer by email.
    • Prompt: Customer Name: {{input_0.text}}
  3. Text Node: Email template
    • Text: Hello {{input_0.text}}, My name is Albert I am one of the co-founders of VectorShift. {{openai_0.response}}. Best, Albert
  4. Output Node: Display the email
    • Output: {{text_0.text}}
