Note Node

Canvas annotation node for documenting workflows visually. Has no runtime effect.

Note Node

The note node is a canvas-only annotation. It has no effect on workflow execution and is never included in the execution graph — it exists solely to add documentation, labels, or context directly on the workflow canvas.

Configuration Fields

FieldTypeDescription
textstringMarkdown text displayed on the canvas node

Behavior

  • Not executed: note nodes are skipped by the workflow engine entirely
  • Not connected: note nodes do not need to be wired to other nodes
  • Rendered inline: the canvas renders the text field as Markdown

Example Config

{
  "text": "## Auth Check\nThis branch only runs for admin users.\nSee JIRA-1234 for context."
}

Use Cases

  • Annotate complex branching logic
  • Link to external documentation
  • Flag work-in-progress sections
  • Explain why a specific model or tool was chosen
