Text Input
The Text Input component accepts a text string and passes it to the next component in the flow.
It is intended for flows that process simple text input without conversational context or chat history.
Important
1. Playground: Text Input is not supported in the Playground. Its output is not formatted as a chat message, so it cannot be used to chat with a flow in the Playground. To interact with a flow through chat, use the Chat Input component.
2. Metadata: Adding chat-related metadata does not change the behavior of the component. It still processes the input as simple text.
3. Input Format: Provide the input as plain text, not as a complete Message object. The component creates the required Message object automatically.
Text Input Parameters
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| Text | The input field where users enter or pass the text string to be used in the flow. |
| Use Global Variable | Toggle switch to enable or disable using a stored global variable as the text input. |
| Output Text | The output port that emits the input text as a simplified Message object to downstream components. |
