Plugin Node

The Plugin node is the core component for calling third-party capabilities in a workflow. As an important carrier for function extension, this node can invoke this node to execute specific function tasks. Each plug-in is essentially a set of API tools that are encapsulated in a standardized manner. Plug-ins provide plug-and-play modular services, expand the capability boundary of workflows, and complete more complex tasks.

There are preset plug-ins and personal plug-ins.

  • Preset plug-ins: The code interpreter plug-in is preset on the platform to execute the Input code and obtain the execution result. Developers can directly add plug-ins to workflows or applications to enrich their capabilities.
  • Personal plug-ins: The platform allows you to create custom plug-ins. APIs can be quickly created as plug-ins through configuration for workflows to use.

The Plugin node is an optional node. If it does not need to be configured, skip this section.

Plugin Node Configuration Example

  1. Drag the Plugin node on the left to the canvas. On the Personal plugin or Pre installed plugins tab page, click to add a plug-in to the canvas.

    Pre-installed plug-ins are built-in plug-ins of the platform, and personal plug-ins are user-defined plug-ins. For details about how to create a plug-in, see Creating a Plug-in.

  2. Connect the Plugin node to other nodes.
  3. Click the added Plugin node in the canvas and configure the node by referring to Table 1.
    Table 1 Plugin node configuration

    Configuration Type

    Parameter Name

    Description

    Parameter configuration

    Input params
    • Param name: imported from the plug-in metadata. You do not need to manually add a parameter.
    • Type and Value: Type can be set to ref and literal.
      • ref: You can select the output variable value of a previous node that has been included in the workflow. This option applies to the scenario where plug-in input parameters need to be obtained from the output of a previous node.
      • literal: You can customize the value. This type applies to the scenario where the plug-in input parameter value is fixed.

    Output params

    All output parameter information is automatically imported from the plugin metadata. You do not need to manually modify the information.

    Exception Configuration‌

    -

    The configuration of the Exception ignored switch is used as the default configuration of the Plugin node. When the plug-in execution is abnormal, the default configuration can be returned to prevent the entire workflow from failing to run.

    • When this function is disabled, exceptions are not ignored.
    • When this function is enabled, set Default output. The parameters in Default output must be the same as those in Output params of the plug-in. When the Plugin node is running properly, the configuration does not affect subsequent nodes. If an exception occurs when a workflow runs to the Plugin node, the workflow does not stop and continues to run subsequent nodes. If a subsequent node references the output content of the Plugin node, the default output content is used.

  4. After completing the configuration, click OK.

Example: Creating a Plug-in Using a Deployed Model

  1. Deploy a service, for example, a DeepSeek model.

    Obtain the API request URL. For details, see Obtaining the API Request URL of the Third-Party Model.

  2. Create a plugin on the platform and enter basic information. For details, see Creating a Plug-in.

    Figure 2 Basic information

  3. Configure the Plugin URL and other request information.

    Figure 3 Configuration

  4. Set parameters based on the API information and click Plugin Commissioning.

    After confirming the information, click OK to create the plugin.

  5. Use this plug-in in the workflow.

    Drag the Plugin node on the left to the canvas. On the Personal plugin tab page, click to add a plug-in to the canvas.
