Entry Node

The entry node is the starting point of every task template. It receives the input payload when a task is started.

Input Schema

If you want to provide data to the task, you need to define an input schema on the entry node. This schema serves as the starting point for typing throughout the entire task template — downstream nodes can reference the entry node’s output to access the validated input.

Any data provided when starting the task that is not defined in the schema will be discarded. This ensures that only expected, validated data enters the workflow.

Tip

If your task template does not require any input data, you can leave the entry node without a schema. The task can then be started with an empty payload.
