Prompt

This component lets you create personalized messages using a pre-defined template. Think of it like a fill-in-the-blank form for your messages, but much more powerful! You provide a template with placeholders, and Nappai fills in those placeholders with the right data to create a complete message.

Relationship with Nappai’s Automation System

This component is a core part of Nappai’s automation system. It allows you to dynamically generate messages tailored to specific situations within your automated workflows. The messages created can be used to interact with other parts of your system or external applications.

Inputs

  • Template: This is where you enter the text of your message template. You can include special words (variables) within the template, surrounded by curly braces {}, that will be replaced with actual values during the automation process. For example, a template might look like: “Hello, {user_name}! Your order ({order_number}) is ready.” Nappai will replace {user_name} and {order_number} with the appropriate values from your data.

Outputs

  • Prompt Message: This is the final, completed message generated by the component. It’s the output of the template after Nappai has filled in all the variables. This message can then be used by other components in your automation flow, such as sending an email, displaying a notification, or interacting with an external API.

Usage Example

Let’s say you want to send personalized email confirmations to your customers. You could use the Prompt component with the following template:

“Dear {customer_name},\n\nThank you for your order! Your order number is {order_id} and the total amount is {total_amount}.\n\nSincerely,\nThe Nappai Team”

Nappai will then replace {customer_name}, {order_id}, and {total_amount} with the correct information from your order database, creating a unique email for each customer.

Templates

This component is used in many Nappai templates, including:

[‘Basic Prompting (Hello, World)’, ‘Vector Store RAG’, ‘Complex Agent’, ‘Blog Writer’, ‘Memory Chatbot’, ‘Document QA’, ‘Hierarchical Tasks Agent’, ‘Sequential Tasks Agent’, ‘CV Scorer’, ‘CV Match’, ‘Stock chat’, ‘LaTeX Assignments’, ‘URL content to X’, ‘AI-Powered Property Description Optimizer’, ‘Document Insights’, ‘Create Questions and Answers from Documents’, ‘Reasoning Prompts’, ‘Load Cloud DatA’, ‘Mail Reader’, ‘Audio and Video Transcriber’, ‘Eurocup 2024’, ‘Prompt Chaining’, ‘Search Tools’, ‘Book Recommendator’, ‘Cuisine Recommendator’, ‘SqlAgent’]

Many components in Nappai can work with the output of the Prompt component. For example:

  • Email Sender: Send the generated prompt message as an email.
  • Notification System: Display the message as a notification to the user.
  • API Connector: Use the message as input to an external API.
  • Various Data Processors: Many components can use the output as input for further processing. Refer to the Nappai documentation for a complete list.

Tips and Best Practices

  • Clearly define your variables within the template using curly braces {}. Make sure the names match the variables available in your data.
  • Test your template thoroughly to ensure it generates the desired messages.
  • Use descriptive variable names to make your templates easier to understand and maintain.

Security Considerations

  • Avoid including sensitive information directly in your templates. Instead, use variables and ensure that the data sources providing those variables are secure.
  • Review and sanitize any user-provided input before incorporating it into your templates to prevent injection attacks.
