What this episode is about

Last episode, we connected a second node and ran it without saying what it does. Today we open it up: the Edit Fields node, which lets you set your own custom values instead of whatever a node happened to produce on its own. We use it to make your robot say something specific — a custom greeting, written by you — and press the trigger to watch that exact message come out the other end.

What you'll learn

  • What the Edit Fields (Set) node does, and why you'd use it
  • Adding a text field and typing your own custom value into it
  • Connecting it to your Manual Trigger from Episode 3
  • Running the workflow and seeing your custom message in the output
  • The difference between data a node makes up on its own and data you set yourself
