OutputData

---

🎯 Purpose

OutputData is the finalization node. It collects the data produced by your workflow, formats it using a template engine, and exposes the result as the workflow’s final payload for display, export, or handoff to downstream systems.

📤 Outputs

• Formatted Payload: A string (HTML/Markdown/plain text/JSON-like) produced by the selected template engine.
• Raw Context (optional): Whatever your template renders from the upstream {{ Out }} (or selected fields).

⚙️ Parameters

Name	Type	Required	Default	Description
data	Rich Text / Template	No	{{Out}}	The output template. Use variables from the workflow context (e.g., {{ order.id }}, {{ items }}).
String Compiler	Dropdown	No	Synthreo String Compiler	Template engine: Synthreo String Compiler (simple vars)
Suppress Skipped Execution	Boolean	No	false	If true, run even when prior nodes were skipped, ensuring an output is always produced.
Allow Override	Boolean	No	false	If true, permits later nodes/steps to modify this node’s output.

💡 Example Usage

• 📑 Human-Readable Summary (Markdown)
  • Compiler: Synthreo String Compiler
  • data:

    # Order Summary — {{ order.id }}
    Customer: {{ customer.name }} ({{ customer.email }})
    Items ({{ items.length }}):
    {{#each items}}
    - {{ name }} × {{ qty }} — ${{ price }}
    {{/each}}
    Total: ${{ totals.grand }}

Tip: Start with {{Out}} during prototyping to see the full payload, then narrow the template to only the fields you need.

📘 Best Practices

• Begin Broad, Then Narrow: Use {{Out}} first, inspect the shape, and then reference only required fields.

• Choose the Right Engine:

  • Synthreo String Compiler — simple variable replacement, fastest.

• Defensive Templates: Add defaults/guards for optional fields (e.g., {{ customer.email || 'N/A' }} if supported).

• Deterministic Shapes: For machine consumption, render stable keys and types (avoid mixing human text with JSON).

• Flow Control: Enable Suppress Skipped Execution when you must always emit a summary (e.g., errors, partial results).

🧪 Test Cases

• Default Pass-Through
  • Given: data="{{Out}}", compiler=Synthreo String Compiler
  • Expected: Entire upstream payload rendered as string.

🔧 Troubleshooting

• Blank Output: Check variable names; they’re case-sensitive. Confirm upstream data reaches {{Out}}.
• Malformed JSON: When exporting JSON, avoid trailing commas and ensure values are already JSON-encoded if you inject arrays/objects.
• Slow Rendering: Prefer Synthreo String Compiler for simple outputs; minimize heavy loops/partials in large payloads.
