Sticky Note node

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.

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 (trigger node)
Output

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.

Example Configuration

Place a yellow note on the canvas:

{
  "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

The Sticky Note tool adds visual notes and annotations to your workflow canvas. It is the right tool when you need to document workflow logic, leave instructions, or organize the canvas visually, rather than processing data or performing an action. It produces no runtime output, serving purely as a UI element for documentation.
