Runnable With Message History

This component in Nappai helps you run automated tasks while keeping a detailed log of everything that happens. Think of it as a task manager with a built-in notepad to record every step and message. This is especially helpful for complex tasks that need to remember previous actions.

Relationship with BaseRunnableWithMessageHistoryComponent

This component builds upon a more basic component called BaseRunnableWithMessageHistoryComponent. It inherits all the features of that base component, adding no extra complexity. You don’t need to worry about the technical details of this inheritance; it simply means this component has all the necessary tools to manage tasks and their message history.

Inputs

The specific inputs for this component aren’t explicitly defined. They are inherited from the BaseRunnableWithMessageHistoryComponent, which means the inputs will depend on the specific task being run. You’ll see the relevant inputs displayed in the Nappai dashboard when you configure this component for a particular task.

Outputs

The component’s output will show the result of the task it ran. This could be anything from a simple “success” or “failure” message to more complex data depending on the task itself. The output will also reflect the complete message history associated with the task’s execution. You can use this output to trigger other actions in your automation workflow.

Usage Example

Imagine you’re automating email processing. This component could run a task to read emails from your Gmail account. The output would show you the processed emails and a log of each step, such as “Email read successfully,” “Attachment downloaded,” or “Email marked as read.” You could then use this output to trigger another component that sends a summary report.

Templates

This component is used in the following Nappai templates:

  • Eurocup 2024
  • Chat with GMail

The specific configuration of this component will vary depending on the template.

This component often works with many others in Nappai. Here are a few examples:

  • IMAP Mail Reader: This component reads emails, providing input for the “Runnable With Message History” component to process.
  • GMail Sender: This component sends emails, often triggered by the output of the “Runnable With Message History” component.
  • SQL Executor: This component executes SQL queries, and its output can be processed by this component.
  • Chat Input/Output: These components handle user interaction, providing input and receiving output from the “Runnable With Message History” component in conversational flows.
  • Many other components listed in the provided list may also interact with this component depending on the specific automation workflow.

Tips and Best Practices

  • Carefully review the message history after running a task to ensure it completed successfully and as expected.
  • Use this component for tasks that require detailed tracking of their execution.
  • Consider using this component in conjunction with other components to create more complex and robust automation workflows.

Security Considerations

The security of this component depends on the security of the tasks it runs and the components it interacts with. Ensure that all connected components and the tasks they perform are configured securely. Review the security settings of any external services or APIs used by the tasks.
