Adding code blocks

Code blocks help you to add custom logic as Python code within your agentic workflow. A code block node is used where other nodes do not meet your needs for data processing, complex logic, or message formatting. You can create code from scratch or paste it from another source, and define output variables based on your code to use later in the agentic workflow. Code block gives you more control and flexibility to customize your agentic workflow and handle complex scenarios.

Note: If you want to incorporate a larger amount of Python code, use a tool instead of a code block.

To add a code block to an agentic workflow:

  1. From the menu Menu, go to Build.
  2. Select All tools and click Create tool.
  3. Select Agentic workflow.
  4. Update the Name if necessary.
  5. Click Start build
  6. Use one of the following actions to add a code block:
    • Click add tools add new, then click and drag Code block onto a connector line.
    • Hover over a connector line and click add add icon, then select Code block.

To add or edit code in a code block:

  1. Click the code block to open it.
  2. Select the Open code editor.
  3. Enter the new code or edit the existing code in the Code editor tab. For more information on creating code block, see Code block examples.
  4. Click close.

Adding output in a code block


To add or delete output in a code block:

  1. Click the code block to open it.
