Text Node

The Text node outputs a text string that downstream nodes can use. It's especially useful for building reusable prompt fragments or message templates.

Configuration

Use cases

Prompt building

Create a reusable system prompt:

You are a helpful customer support agent for {{variables.companyName}}.
Always be polite and concise. If you cannot answer, escalate to a human.

Connect the Text node to an AI Agent node's input to use this as context.

Message templates

Hi {{lastOutput.customerName}},

Your order #{{lastOutput.orderId}} has been shipped!
Track it here: {{lastOutput.trackingUrl}}

Thanks,
{{variables.companyName}} Team

Static labels

Use a Text node to provide constant values that multiple downstream nodes reference.

Output

The Text node's output is the rendered string (with all {{templates}} resolved). Downstream nodes access it via {{lastOutput}}.

Tips

• Combine Text nodes with AI Agent nodes to separate "instructions" from "data" in your prompts.
• Use workflow variables in Text nodes for brand-specific content that changes across workflows.
• Text nodes don't call external services — they're instant and free.
