This document explains the Combine Text node, which merges multiple text values using a customizable template format.

​

​

Node Functionality

The Combine Text node:

• Merges text values from connected nodes
• Uses simple template-based formatting with placeholders
• Allows direct selection of values from connected nodes
• Preserves spaces and punctuation

​

2. Create Your Template: Click inside the format field and:
   • Type your text template
   • Add placeholders by selecting from available connected values
   • Format as needed with spaces, punctuation, and line breaks
3. Run Your Flow: The node will replace all placeholders with their corresponding values

​

Format Tips

​

1. Basic Text Combination

Combine text with proper spacing:

Format: "{Title} {First Name} {Last Name}"

​

2. Custom Separators

Add separators between values:

Format: "{Company Name} - {Industry} - {Location}"

​

3. Repeated Values

Use the same value multiple times:

Format: "{Customer Name} purchased {Product}. Please deliver to {Customer Name}."

​

Loop Mode

When the Combine Text node runs in Loop Mode:

• It processes each item in input lists independently
• Input lists must be the same length
• Results in a list of combined strings

​

Loop Mode Example

Connected values:
- Names: ["John", "Sarah", "Miguel"]
- Scores: ["85", "92", "78"]

Format: "{Names} scored {Scores}%"

Result: ["John scored 85%", "Sarah scored 92%", "Miguel scored 78%"]

In summary, the Combine Text node is a versatile tool for merging values from connected nodes into formatted text, supporting everything from simple concatenation to complex template-based formatting.
