How do I configure the Chat trigger node?#

A trigger node is used to manually or automatically start the actions in a series of connected nodes within a pathway.

The Chat trigger creates a chat dialog that can be used to receive user questions, also know as Prompts.

These prompts can then be passed to a connected Agent, Chain or Model node which will form a response that is returned to the chat dialog.

Once a pathway is tested and working as expected, you can set the Chat trigger to produce a URL that can be:

  • hosted with Ensemble, or
  • embedded in a website

And when the pathway is activated this URL will be available for use to anyone who can find it.

Before you begin#

Step 1 - add the node#

  • Click + to open the nodes panel
  • Search for Chat trigger in the node search field.
  • Click the node to add it to the canvas.

Step 2 - test the node to send data to connected nodes#

You can test the node and its output by clicking:

  • Test step in the node editor, or
  • Chat on the pathway

Anything entered into the chat dialog is passed to the next node in the sequence.
