Manual Input

Feed static text or tabular data into the pipeline by hand — useful for testing or one-off runs.

Overview

The Manual Input group provides source-only nodes for feeding static, hand-entered data into a workflow. These nodes have no incoming connections — you type or paste the value directly into the node's configuration panel, and it becomes the node's output.

Manual Input nodes are most useful for testing a pipeline without a live data source connected, or for workflows that always operate on a fixed value (e.g. a constant prompt or a small lookup table).

Nodes in This Group

NodeDescription
Text InputProvides a static text value to the pipeline — type or paste the value directly in the node's panel.
Table InputProvides a small hand-entered table (rows and columns) as structured output for downstream nodes.

Usage Tips

Good for prototyping

Swap a Data Source node for a Manual Input node while you are building and testing the rest of a pipeline — it avoids repeated calls to a live API or database while you iterate on downstream logic.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can a Text Input node receive data from an upstream node?
No. Manual Input nodes are source-only — they have no input handle and always output the value configured in their panel.
Does the Table Input node support importing a CSV file?
Table Input is meant for small, hand-entered datasets typed directly into the node. For larger or file-based tabular data, use a Data Sources node such as Local Drive or API Source instead.
