Input Node:

The Input Node is the foundation of any workflow in Dume AI. It lets you define all the dynamic fields that a user must provide when triggering a workflow — such as the topic of a post, type of audience, desired tone, and more. Screenshot 2025-07-21 at 12.51.34 AM.png

​
How It Works With Other Nodes

  • Refer to inputs in LLM Nodes using /post_topic, /goal, etc.
  • Use inputs in Condition Nodes for branching logic.
  • Populate Templates dynamically with user data.

​
Best Practices

  • Mark all essential fields as required to avoid runtime errors.
  • Use select for controlled vocabularies (like tone or goal).
  • Avoid using long, ambiguous string fields when options can be structured.
  • Test with different combinations of inputs to ensure downstream nodes handle variability.
