A Text input node with referenced parameters and the Sparkles button visible
The Text node is a multiline text input. Type or paste anything: a prompt, a system message, a list of names, a markdown document. The output is whatever you’ve entered, ready to wire into another node.

Adding multiple values

Click the + button in the settings bar to add another text item, turning the node into a list. Lists are how you fan out a workflow over multiple values: pair a list of 5 prompts with a Create node and you get 5 results in one run. See Data Matching for how lists are handled across multiple inputs.

Generating a list

Ask the chat agent to fill a Text node for you. For example, select the node and ask for 5 modernist architects, and the agent writes the five items into the node as a list. This is useful for seeding a workflow with example data, brainstorming options, or generating test inputs without typing each one.

Driving the text from another node

Connecting any output to the Text node casts it to a string and displays it in the field. The Text node will re-cast and re-display every time the upstream node runs.

Inline references

Inside any text field you can press Tab (or @) to insert a reference to another node’s output. Useful for building template strings where one part of the prompt comes from a Text Input, an Agent, or a Code node. See Data Referencing. You can also reference credentials the same way when constructing API calls.
