What are inputs?

Input variables allow you to configure the UI and variables for your workflow.

There are 5 parts to an input:

1. Type: determines both the user interface and the data type of the input
2. Label: the name of your input, which also labels the UI
3. Variable Name: the name of your input as a variable, which will be referenced as liquid syntax in your steps (this is automatically generated when you add a label!)
4. Hint: helper text that will appear below the input
5. Default Value: the value that will be used by default the input is not provided
6. Required?: determines if the input is required to run the app

For example, this workflow takes a transcription file and a speaker name:

We would configure the inputs with the following:

• Transcription:
  • Type: File Media
  • Label: Transcription
  • Variable Name:
  • Hint: Upload a mp4, mp3, or .wav file
  • Required?: On
• Speaker Name
  • Type: Single Text
  • Label: Speaker Name
  • Variable Name:
  • Hint:
