Input refers to data provided to a flow at start or to individual nodes (form fields, API payloads, files, environment vars).

The input node can be found in the nodes library as can be seen below:

🧩 In-Depth Explanation

Inputs can be:

• Typed (string, number, boolean)
• Structured (JSON)
• Files
• References (IDs)

Schemas should be defined for expected inputs and validated early. Inputs are mapped to node parameters and can be enriched or validated by nodes before being used downstream.

✅ Best Practices

• Define and document input schemas (required vs optional).
• Validate and sanitise inputs at the earliest node.
• Provide helpful error messages for missing/invalid inputs.

⚠️ Important Notes

• Large file inputs may have size or timeout constraints.
