Triggers
Starter
The Starter block allows you to manually initiate workflow execution with input parameters, offering two input modes: structured parameters or conversational chat.
Execution Modes
Choose your input method from the dropdown:
- API Friendly Structured inputs: Define specific parameters (text, number, boolean, JSON, file, date)
- Testing while Building Your Workflow: Quick iteration while debugging workflows
Configure input parameters that will be available when deploying as an API endpoint.
- Natural language: Users type questions or requests
- Conversational: Ideal for AI-powered workflows
Chat with your workflow and access input text, conversation ID, and uploaded files for context-aware responses.
Using Chat Variables
In Chat mode, access user input and conversation context through special variables:
<start.input>- Contains the user's message text<start.conversationId>- Unique identifier for the conversation thread<start.files>- Array of files uploaded by the user (if any)
