API integration customization

Data Bridge Functionality

Acts as a seamless bridge between processing nodes (like AI Assistant) and output destinations, streamlining data storage, delivery, and workflow execution.

Key Applications:

AI output to Google Sheets
Processing to storage bridge
Data transformation pipeline
Workflow orchestration

Configuration Guide

Setting up the Function Call Node involves choosing templates or building custom functions. Follow these steps for optimal automation:

1

Adding the Node

Select Function Call Node from the Playground menu and drag it onto the canvas.
Assign a descriptive title in English, written as a single word (e.g., WriteCaptions or SaveReports), as it’s used in AI Assistant instructions and other workflow components.
2

Template Selection

Click Parameters to access the configuration interface.
Select a predefined template (e.g., Write to Google, Read from Google) for common automation tasks.

Step 2.1: Copy Node Title to JSON

Copy the English node title (e.g., WriteCaptions) from Step 1 and paste it into the name field of the template’s JSON configuration.

Step 2.2: Update File ID in JSON

  • • For Read from Google Sheet: Open the connected Google Sheets Node, copy the Sheet ID, and paste it into the file_id field (replacing your_sheet_id).
  • • For Write to Google Sheet: Open the connected Google Sheets Node, copy the Sheet ID, and paste it into the sheet_id field (replacing your_sheet_id).
  • • For Update Row in Google Sheet: Open the connected Google Sheets Node, copy the Sheet ID, and paste it into the file_id field (replacing google_sheet_id).
  • • For Read from Google Doc: Open the connected Google Docs Node, copy the Doc ID, and paste it into the doc_id field (replacing google_doc_id).
  • • For Write to Google Doc: Open the connected Google Docs Node, copy the Doc ID, and paste it into the doc_id field (replacing google_doc_id).

AI-Powered Setup

For advanced setups, click Build with AI to access intelligent configuration.
Enter a natural language description, e.g., Store social media captions in Google Sheets.
The AI will interpret your requirements and suggest appropriate configurations.
4

Smart Parameters

Click Build Smart Parameters to generate custom settings automatically.
The system will create optimized parameters based on your workflow requirements.
Review and adjust the generated parameters as needed for your specific use case.
5

Node Connections

Input: Connect from processing nodes like AI Assistant for data source.
Example: In Content Generation, connect AI-generated captions to Google Sheets storage.
6

Saving Configuration

Click Save Changes to apply your Function Call configuration.
Close the editor using the standard interface controls.
Test the function execution to ensure proper operation and data flow.
7

Update AI Assistant Instructions

After saving the Function Call Node configuration, go to the AI Assistant Node in your workflow.
Select the instruction template for your workflow (e.g., Lead and Customer Management, Social Media Content Generation).
In the instruction text related to the Function Call Node, insert the single-word English title (e.g., WriteCaptions) and the Google Sheet or Doc ID used in the template configuration (e.g., sheet_id or doc_id).
This ensures the AI Assistant calls the correct function and processes the specified Sheet or Doc accurately.
