Overview
The Object Caller node provides seamless integration with your stored Objects, enabling workflows to access and utilize structured data collections throughout your automation processes. This powerful node transforms static data storage into dynamic workflow components, allowing for sophisticated data-driven automation and consistent information management across complex workflows.
Objects System Foundation
Understanding Objects
Objects in the FluxPrompt system serve as structured data containers that can store multiple elements with associated values. These reusable data collections provide a centralized way to manage information that needs to be accessed across different workflows and processes.
Creating Objects
Object Creation Process:
Access Objects Section: Navigate to the Objects area in your sidebar navigation
Create Flux Object: Click the "Create Flux Object" button to initiate object creation
Object Configuration: Set up your object with name and initial elements
Object Creation Interface
Basic Object Setup:
Object's Name: Specify a unique identifier for your object
Element Definition: "Enter element's value" field for adding data items
Element Management: Add multiple elements using the "+ Add element" functionality
Object Creation: "Create" button to finalize your object setup
Element Structure: Objects consist of key-value pairs where each element contains:
Element Name: Identifier for the data item
Element Value: The actual data content associated with that element
Multiple Elements: Objects can contain numerous elements for comprehensive data storage
Object Caller Node Configuration
Object Selection Interface
The Object Caller node features a streamlined interface for accessing your stored objects:
Select an Object Section
Object Selection Dropdown:
"Choose an Object" Dropdown: Primary interface for selecting from available objects
Available Objects: Display of all created objects (e.g., "Test" object shown in dropdown)
Object Preview: Description text "Easily inject your objects into workflows" explains the node's purpose
Dynamic Selection: Real-time object selection with immediate configuration updates
Object Elements Management
Once an object is selected, the node displays comprehensive element management capabilities:
Object Elements Section:
Expandable Interface: "Object Elements" section with settings access
Element Display: Individual elements shown with names (e.g., "Element 1", "Element 2")
Element Configuration: Each element includes detailed management options
Element Configuration Options
Individual Element Controls:
Element Identification: Clear labeling of each element (Element 1, Element 2, etc.)
Delete Functionality: Trash icon for removing unwanted elements
Toggle Controls: On/off switches for enabling/disabling specific elements
Action Mode Selection: "Append" vs "Overwrite" toggle for data handling
Value Input Fields: Text areas for dynamic element value modification
Add New Elements: "+ Add new element" functionality for expanding object scope
Element Data Handling Modes
Append Mode:
Data Addition: New values are added to existing element content
Preservation: Existing data is maintained while adding new information
Accumulation: Builds comprehensive data collections over time
Overwrite Mode:
Data Replacement: New values completely replace existing element content
Fresh Start: Clears previous data before adding new information
Dynamic Updates: Enables real-time data refresh and updates
Advanced Configuration Settings
Object Type Configuration
The Object Caller node includes sophisticated settings for controlling object behavior:
Object Type Settings
Local vs Global Configuration:
Local Objects: Restricted to current workflow scope and execution
