Utility blocks

Utility blocks sit in the builder palette under Basic → Utility. They work on any workflow channel unless a page says otherwise. Shared graph rules are on Workflows.

When the pipe is an object (for example an API response), a table write matches column keys to those property names. Keys are case-sensitive: use status and data, not Status and Data. When the pipe is number or text, bind pipe.value as one cell — there are no object keys.

Note

Canvas comment only. Forwards the incoming pipe unchanged.

API

Call an HTTP URL with method, headers, query, and body.

Async

Run nested tasks in parallel, then settle with all, any, or all-settled.

Execute JS

Run a sandboxed script. Input is args; the return value is on the pipe.

Execute Python

Run a sandboxed Python script. Input is args; the return value is on the pipe.

Emit Event

Send a named event with JSON data to the chat client.

Encode

Encode a value as JSON, Base64, Base64 URL, hex, or encrypt.

Decode

Decode JSON, Base64, Base64 URL, hex, or decrypt.

Hash

Hash a value with bcrypt, MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, or SHA-512.

Pause

Wait a number of seconds before continuing. Does not pass a value on the data pipe.

UUID

Generate a UUID v4, random text, or random number.

Evaluate Math

Evaluate a math expression and put the number on the pipe.

Debug Log

Log a resolved value to the debug console during a run.

Reset Chat

End the current chat run. Chat channel only.

File to Text

Read a workspace text file and put the contents on the pipe.
