Node Catalog overview
The 44 node types of HiveFlow, organized in 8 categories — what each category is for and how to add nodes to a flow.
Nodes are the steps of a flow. Click Add Node (✚) in the flow editor to open the catalog: browse by category or search by name, then click a node to drop it on the canvas. Double-click any placed node to configure it.

Conventions used in this reference
- The
idshown for each node is its internal type (useful with the API and when talking to Genius). - Nodes pass data forward through their connections; reference upstream values inside configs with variables like
{{message}}or{{node_id.field}}. - Nodes connected into an LLM Agent act as its function-calling tools — see adding tools.
