Ask a Human
Runtime input during flow execution
What does it do?
Human asks allow you to ask for input from a human during the execution of your Wordapp. This is useful whenever you need to stop and wait on a human for information, like asking for a decision, a piece of information, or a preference.
How do I use it?
A human ask takes a request for the human to respond to in the editor. When you run the Wordapp, the human will be prompted to fill in the request, with execution pausing until the human responds, and the response will be available for any later steps.
To create a human ask, type /human in the editor, and hit Enter. Then choose a name in the sidebar.
Options
A few options appear in the sidebar when you create a human ask. Here’s what they mean:
Name
The name of the human ask for later @mentioning.
Include output in prompt
Whether or not to include the human’s response in the prompt for later steps. This can be useful if you want the model to immediately respond to the human’s input, for example, in chatbots. It’s also useful in debugging, as you can see the human’s response in the prompt.
Enabling this toggle is equivalent to adding a @mention for the human ask node just below. The only meaningful difference is it keeps the flow less cluttered by hiding the mention node.
Outputs
response
The response from the human. This is the text that the human provides in response to the provided request
