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.
Configuration Options

goal | Purpose of the post | select | ✅ |
audience_type | Who you’re targeting | select | ✅ |
tone | Desired tone (e.g., formal, fun) | select | ✅ |
Visual Reference
string, select) for easy validation.

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.
