Parse Data

This component helps you turn your data into readable text. You provide the data and a template, and it creates the text according to your specifications. This is useful for creating reports, summaries, or any other text-based output from your data.

Relationship with Templates

This component works by using a template to structure the output text. The template uses special placeholders (like {text} or {data}) that are replaced with your actual data. You can customize this template to create exactly the text format you need.

Inputs

  • Data: This is the information you want to transform into text. It can be various types of data that Nappai understands.
  • Template: This is where you define how your data should look in the final text. You use special codes within the template to insert your data. The default template is “{text}”, which simply outputs the data as is.
  • Separator (Advanced): This option lets you specify how multiple data items are separated in the output text. The default is a new line (\n), meaning each item will appear on a new line. You only need to change this if you want a different separator, like a comma or a semicolon.

Outputs

The component produces a single output:

  • Text: This is the formatted text created by applying your template to the input data. You can then use this text in other parts of your Nappai workflow, such as sending it in an email, displaying it on a report, or using it as input for another component.

Usage Example

Let’s say your Data input contains a list of names: [“Alice”, “Bob”, “Charlie”]. If you use the template “{text}” and the default separator, the output Text will be: Alice Bob Charlie If you use the template “Name: {text}” and the default separator, the output will be: Name: Alice Name: Bob Name: Charlie If you change the separator to ”, ” and use the template “{text}”, the output will be: Alice, Bob, Charlie

Templates

This component is used in many Nappai flow templates, including: Vector Store RAG, Blog Writer, Document QA, CV Scorer, CV Match, URL content to X, AI-Powered Property Description Optimizer, Document Insights, Create Questions and Answers from Documents, StageInHome Decorator, TicketToJSON, Load Cloud DatA, and Eurocup 2024. The specific configuration of the “Parse Data” component will vary depending on the template.

Many components can be used with the output of the “Parse Data” component. For example, you could connect it to:

  • Text Output: To display the formatted text directly in your dashboard.
  • Email Sender: To send the formatted text in an email.
  • Document Writer: To save the formatted text to a document.

(Note: A full list of related components is too extensive to include here, but you can find them within the Nappai dashboard by searching for components that accept text input.)

Tips and Best Practices

  • Understand your data: Before using this component, make sure you understand the structure and format of your input data.
  • Test your template: Always test your template with a small sample of your data to ensure it produces the desired output.
  • Use descriptive template names: This will make it easier to understand the purpose of each template in your workflow.

Security Considerations

No specific security considerations apply to this component, but always ensure the data you feed into it does not contain sensitive information unless that data is appropriately secured within the Nappai system.
