Pass

The Pass component in Nappai acts like a simple messenger. It receives a message and immediately sends it on to the next part of your automation workflow without making any changes. This is useful when you need to keep a message consistent throughout your process.

Relationship with Nappai’s Workflow System

This component is fundamental to Nappai’s workflow. It allows you to connect different parts of your automation, ensuring that data flows smoothly between them without modification. It’s particularly helpful in situations where you need to maintain the integrity of a message as it moves through your automated processes.

Inputs

Input Message: This is the main message that the Pass component will forward. It’s where you provide the information you want to pass along.
Ignored Message (Advanced): This is an optional input. It’s designed for more complex workflows and will be ignored by the Pass component. You likely won’t need to use this unless you’re building a very advanced automation.

Outputs

Output Message: This is the message that the Pass component sends out. It’s an exact copy of the “Input Message.” You can connect this output to other components in your Nappai workflow to continue processing the data.

Usage Example

Imagine you’re building an automation that receives emails, extracts key information, and then sends a notification. The Pass component could be used to forward the extracted information to the notification component without any modification.

Templates

This component is used in many templates, but there is no specific list provided. You’ll find it useful in any workflow where you need to pass data unchanged from one component to another.

The Pass component can be used with many other components in Nappai. Here are a few examples:

Explain SQL results: Use Pass to send the results of an SQL query to the “Explain SQL results” component for easy interpretation.
Google Generative AI Embeddings: Use Pass to send text to the Google Generative AI Embeddings component for analysis.
Many other components: The Pass component is versatile and can be used with almost any component in Nappai that accepts a message as input. Explore the Nappai component library to find more possibilities.

Tips and Best Practices

Use the Pass component when you need to ensure data integrity throughout your workflow.
If you’re unsure whether to use the “Ignored Message” input, it’s best to leave it blank.

Security Considerations

The Pass component itself does not introduce any specific security risks. However, the security of your overall workflow depends on the security of the components connected to it and the data being passed. Ensure that all components in your workflow are secure and handle sensitive data appropriately.
