Human Node

The Human node is used to introduce human interaction during workflow execution, allowing users to view the current state and provide input through the Web UI. This node blocks workflow execution until the user submits a response.

Configuration

Field	Type	Required	Default	Description
`description`	text	No	-	Task description displayed to the user, explaining the operation that requires human completion

Core Concepts

Blocking Wait Mechanism

When the workflow reaches a Human node:

The workflow pauses, waiting for human input
The Web UI displays the current context and task description
The user enters a response in the interface
The workflow continues execution, passing the user input to downstream nodes

Web UI Interaction

Human nodes are presented as a conversation in the Launch interface
Users can view previous execution history
Supports attachment uploads (e.g., files, images)

When to Use

Review and confirmation: Have humans review LLM output before continuing
Modification suggestions: Collect user suggestions for modifying generated content
Critical decisions: Points where human judgment is needed to continue
Data supplementation: When additional information from the user is needed
Quality control: Introduce human quality checks at critical nodes

Examples

Best Practices

Clearly explain expected operations and keywords in the description
Use conditional edges with keywords to implement flow control
Consider adding timeout mechanisms to avoid infinite workflow waiting
