Overview
The Data Output node serves as the final destination for your workflow results, providing multiple output methods including visual display, callback notifications, and email delivery. This versatile node ensures your processed data reaches the right destinations in the appropriate format.
Core Output Features
Output Display Section
The main Output section provides immediate visual feedback of your workflow results:
Visual Display Area: Shows "Your output will be displayed here" as placeholder text, which populates with actual workflow results upon execution
Dashed Border Interface: Clearly delineated output area for easy identification of results
Real-time Updates: Displays results immediately as the workflow completes processing
This section serves as the primary visual confirmation that your workflow has executed successfully and allows for immediate review of the generated output.
Callback URL Configuration
The Callback URL section enables automated notifications to external systems:
URL Input Field: Enter the endpoint URL where you want to send the workflow results
Automatic Delivery: When configured, the workflow automatically sends results to the specified URL upon completion
API Integration: Ideal for connecting your workflow to other systems, databases, or applications
Real-time Notifications: Provides immediate notification to external services when processing is complete
This feature is particularly useful for workflow automation, allowing your results to trigger subsequent processes in other systems.
Email Notification System
Send to Email Section
The expandable "Send to Email" section provides comprehensive email delivery options:
Email Address Configuration
Multiple Recipients: Field accepts multiple email addresses separated by commas or semicolons
Flexible Input: Supports both manual entry and dynamic email address connection from other workflow components
Validation: Ensures proper email format before sending
Subject Line Customization
Custom Subjects: Enter a specific subject line for your automated emails
Dynamic Content: Can connect to other workflow outputs to create dynamic subject lines
Professional Communication: Ensures recipients understand the context of the automated email
Attachments Management
The Attachments section offers flexible file delivery options:
URL-based Attachments: Field accepts "one or more URLs that you want to send in the email"
Multiple File Support: Attach multiple files by providing multiple URLs
External File Integration: Reference files hosted on external servers or cloud storage
Flexible File Types: Support for various file formats through URL references
Attachment Features:
Chain Icon: Indicates URL linking functionality for file attachments
Copy Icon: Allows copying of attachment configurations for reuse
Dynamic Attachment: Can connect to other workflow outputs to dynamically determine attachments
Configuration Best Practices
Output Display
Use the output display for immediate visual confirmation of workflow success
Review results in this section before configuring automated delivery methods
Ensure output formatting meets your requirements for downstream delivery
Callback URL Setup
Test callback URLs thoroughly before deploying workflows in production
Ensure the receiving endpoint can handle the data format and volume
Consider authentication requirements for external API endpoints
Use HTTPS URLs for secure data transmission
Email Configuration
Use descriptive subject lines that clearly identify the workflow and its purpose
Test email delivery with sample data before production deployment
Consider email size limitations when attaching large files via URLs
Verify that recipient email addresses are current and accessible
Attachment Management
Ensure attachment URLs are publicly accessible or properly authenticated
Test file accessibility before including URLs in automated emails
Consider file size limitations for email attachments
Use stable, permanent URLs for consistent file delivery
Integration Scenarios
The Data Output node excels in various integration scenarios:
Dashboard Updates: Use callback URLs to update real-time dashboards
Report Distribution: Automatically email processed reports to stakeholders
System Integration: Send results to CRM systems, databases, or other business applications
Notification Workflows: Alert teams when specific processing milestones are reached
Security Considerations
When configuring the Data Output node, consider:
Using secure HTTPS URLs for callback endpoints
Implementing proper authentication for sensitive data delivery
Validating email addresses to prevent unauthorized data sharing
Ensuring attachment URLs don't expose sensitive information
Testing all delivery methods in a secure environment before production use
The Data Output node provides comprehensive output management, ensuring your workflow results reach their intended destinations reliably and securely.
