Pass

The Pass component is a simple tool that takes a message you give it and sends that same message on to the next part of your automation. Think of it as a “do‑nothing” step that keeps the message flowing without altering it.

How it Works

When you drop a message into the Input Message field, the component simply copies that message to its output. No calculations, no API calls, no changes—just a direct pass‑through. The second input, Ignored Message, is there only to help the dashboard keep track of the flow; it is not used in the pass‑through.

Inputs

Ignored Message: A second message that the component ignores. It is used as a workaround for continuity in the visual workflow and does not affect the output.
Input Message: The message you want to forward unchanged to the next component.

Outputs

Output Message: The same message that was received in Input Message. It can be connected to any subsequent component that expects a message.

Usage Example

Drag the Pass component into your workflow.
Connect the output of a previous component (e.g., a data fetcher) to the Input Message of the Pass component.
Connect the Output Message of the Pass component to the next component in your chain (e.g., a notifier or a storage step).
The message travels through the Pass component unchanged, allowing you to insert it anywhere in the flow without modifying its content.

Merge – Combines multiple messages into one.
Split – Divides a message into separate parts.
Filter – Passes messages that meet certain conditions.

Tips and Best Practices

Use Pass when you need to keep a message in the workflow but don’t want to alter it.
It’s handy for debugging: insert a Pass component to see the message at a specific point without changing it.
Remember that the Ignored Message input is optional; you can leave it empty.

Security Considerations

No special security settings are required for this component. It simply forwards data that is already present in the workflow.
