Node Functionality

The Input node creates entry points for data in your workflows. It can:

• Accept values from webhooks
• Show input fields to users
• Use preset default values
• Validate input types

​

Example

1. Basic User Input Setup:

   • Input Name: “email_address”
   • Show As User Input: true
   • Input Type: text
   • Description: “Enter your email to receive updates”

2. Webhook Input Setup:

   • Input Name: “customer_id”
   • Default Value: “guest_user”
   • Show As User Input: false

​

Important Considerations

1. Always set clear Input Names for webhook usage
2. Add helpful descriptions when showing user inputs
3. Use Default Values for optional inputs
4. Choose the right Input Type to prevent errors

In summary, the Input node is your workflow’s front door for data entry, whether from users, webhooks, or default settings.
