What is the User Input block?

The User Input block allows you to collect specific information from the user, which can then be used to personalize your automation's output.

How to configure the User Input block

Once the User Input block has been added to your workflow, you can configure it in the right hand panel. Here is how you would configure the block for a simple blog post generator, for example:

  • User Inputs: Add a list of inputs from the user. You can use existing inputs or create new ones.
  • Required: Set whether each input is required or optional.
  • Reorder: Change the order of your inputs.
  • Remove: Delete any inputs.

You can see the user inputs you have chosen appear in the “Collect user input” section.

This information is then passed to the Generate Text block, allowing you to customize the text generated by the AI model. In this example, the User Input block is used to collect information about the blog post's topic, tone, and keywords, which are then used in the Generate Text block's prompt to create a customized blog post.
