# Sticky Note

> Add visual notes to the workflow canvas

## Overview

Sticky Note is a visual annotation node that allows users to place text notes on the workflow canvas. It does not process data, has no inputs or outputs, and requires no credentials. It is used solely for workflow documentation and organization.

**Category:** Core Nodes  
**Tool Name:** `sticky_note`  
**Version:** 1

**Appearance:** Icon: `lucide-ClipboardList` | Color: `#FFD233`

## Node Type

**Action** — processes input items and produces output

This node has no runtime behavior — it is purely a UI element for documentation purposes, so it is never executed and never appears in an execution's results.

## Input / Output

| Direction | Port(s) |
|-----------|--------|
| Input | None |
| Output | None |

Sticky notes have no ports, so they cannot be connected to other nodes.

## Credentials

This tool does not require any credentials.

### Parameters

| Parameter | Type | Required | Default | Description |
|-----------|------|----------|---------|-------------|
| Content | `string` | No | — | The text content of the sticky note. Supports markdown formatting. |
| Width | `number` | No | `200` | Width of the sticky note in pixels. |
| Height | `number` | No | `160` | Height of the sticky note in pixels. |
| Color | `options` | No | `1` | Background color of the sticky note. |
| | | | | Options: `1` (Yellow), `2` (Blue), `3` (Pink), `4` (Green), `5` (Purple), `6` (Gray), `7` (Orange) |

## Output Data

None — this node has no outputs. Nothing downstream can read from a sticky note, and it contributes no items to an execution.

## Usage Examples

- Add a note explaining a complex section of the workflow
- Document API credentials or configuration requirements
- Mark sections of the workflow for review

## Example Configuration

Place a yellow note on the canvas:

```json
{
  "type": "sticky_note",
  "parameters": {
    "content": "## Nightly export\n\nThis branch runs after the schedule fires. Do not remove the delay.",
    "width": 320,
    "height": 200,
    "color": 1
  }
}
```

### Error Handling

| Mode | Behavior |
|------|----------|
| **stop** | Halts workflow on first error |
| **continue** | Skips failed items, passes successful ones through |
| **errorPort** | Routes failed items to Error output port |

## Tips

Add visual notes and annotations to the workflow canvas with markdown support. Use when you need to document workflow logic, leave instructions, or organize the canvas visually. Produces no runtime output — purely a UI element.
