Sticky Note

Add visual notes and annotations to your workflow canvas. This node has no runtime behavior — it is purely a UI element for documentation purposes.

Action Core Nodes v1

Sticky Note adds a visual note to the workflow canvas, with markdown support for structure. It is purely a UI element — it never runs, produces no output and has no ports. A typical use is documenting why a branch exists so the next person to open the workflow does not have to reverse-engineer it.

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

Frequently asked questions

Does it affect execution at all?

No. It has no runtime behaviour and produces no output — it exists only on the canvas.

Can I format the text?

Yes, markdown is supported, so headings, lists and emphasis all render on the canvas.

What should I use it for?

Explaining non-obvious logic, leaving instructions for whoever maintains the workflow, and visually grouping related sections of a large canvas.

Does it need credentials?

No, and it has no ports to connect.
