Node Overview

OpenCompany uses a visual node-based system for building workflows. Each node performs a specific function and passes data to connected nodes.

Node Categories

The node palette groups plugins by category. The exact node count grows as new plugins ship, so use the palette in the app for the live list.

Node Shapes

Different shapes indicate different node types:

Shape	Type	Description
Diamond	Trigger	Starts a workflow (no input handle)
Square	Action	Performs operations
Circle	Config	Provides configuration to other nodes

Handles

Handles are connection points on nodes:

Input Handles (Left Side)

Main Input - Receives data from upstream nodes
Config Inputs - Diamond shapes for memory, model, etc.

Output Handles (Right Side)

Main Output - Sends data to downstream nodes

Data Flow

Data flows from left to right through connections:

[Trigger] --> [Process] --> [Action] --> [Response]

Template Variables

Access upstream data using template syntax:

{{nodeName.fieldName}}

Examples:

{{webhookTrigger.body}}           // Webhook request body
{{aiAgent.response}}              // AI Agent's answer
{{batteryMonitor.level}}          // Battery percentage
{{whatsappReceive.text}}          // Message content

Nested Fields

Access nested objects with dot notation:

{{whatsappReceive.group_info.sender_name}}
{{webhookTrigger.body.user.email}}

Node Configuration

Click a node to open its parameter panel — the full editing how-to (adding, connecting, renaming, copying, deleting, shortcuts, palette modes) lives on The canvas.

Parameter Types

Type	Description
Text	String input
Number	Numeric input
Boolean	Toggle on/off
Options	Dropdown selection
Slider	Range selection
Code	Multi-line code editor
JSON	JSON object input

Dynamic Options

Some parameters load options from the backend:

Device lists (Android)
AI models (based on API key)
Groups and contacts (WhatsApp)

Node States

During execution, nodes show their state:

State	Indicator	Description
Idle	Default	Not running
Waiting	Cyan	Trigger waiting for event
Running	Purple glow	Currently executing
Completed	Green	Finished successfully
Error	Red	Failed with error

Special Node Types

Trigger Nodes

No input handle
Start workflow execution
Wait for external events

Examples: Webhook Trigger, WhatsApp Receive, Cron Scheduler

Config Nodes

Connect to special config handles (diamonds)
Provide settings to parent nodes
Don’t execute independently

Examples: Simple Memory, AI Models

Best Practices

Name your nodes descriptively. “Process Order” is better than “AI Agent 1”.

Test individual nodes with the Run button before deploying full workflows.

Config nodes (Memory, Models) connect to diamond handles, not main inputs.
