Flow Output node
Exit point of a flow: defines what the flow returns to its caller — responses, structured data or files — for chats, apps and API consumers.
Flow Output (flow_output) closes the flow: whatever reaches it is what the caller gets back — a chat answer, JSON for an API/Hive App, or files.
Configuration
Open the node (double-click) to edit it. Key fields:
- Node ID / Name — the identifier used in variables and the display name on the canvas.
- Output shape — which upstream values (via variables) compose the response.
Inputs & outputs
It receives the final values of the run and emits the flow's response to the trigger/API/app that started it. Downstream nodes reference its output with {{node_id.field}} — see the variables reference.
Example
Flow Input → LLM Agent → Flow Output ({{llm_agent.response}})See also: Base nodes · Connecting apps and flows
