Template Node

What is a Template Node?

A Template Node allows user to control how information is presented before it is shown to a user or sent somewhere else (such as email, report, or message). Instead of passing raw or unstructured data that comes from any node, users can turn it into something standardized or readable to their liking.

This node is typically connected to upstream nodes that supply data, enables users to format that data in a preferred structure, and passes the formatted output to downstream nodes that rely on it.

Typically, this node is further connected to nodes that display or send information, such as:

• an Output node (showing results to the user), or

• some Send Email node, such as Gmail node (sending formatted content via email), or

• some Send Message node, such as Teams node (sending formatted messages via some messaging app), etc.

The benefits of the Template Node is that it facilitates:

• formatting output from any node before sending it onward

• reusing information from across the workflow, and combining them

  
• using existing, standardized templates by uploading them directly to the workflow
