What it does: This allows you to run Python scripts inside your workflow, giving your chatbot the ability to process data, perform calculations, and even customize responses.
When to use it?
Complex Data Transformations: Perform custom data manipulations or calculations that aren't directly available in other nodes.
Integrate with Custom APIs & Services: Connect to APIs or services that don't have dedicated Diaflow nodes yet using Python's vast library ecosystem.
Advanced Logic & Decision Making: Implement intricate decision-making processes or custom algorithms within your workflows using Python code.
Extend Diaflow Functionality: Effectively create your own mini-nodes by encapsulating custom Python scripts within a reusable Diaflow node.
Method
Options: - Manual Script - Python File
Code editor
Input your code editor when choose method = Manual Script
Upload File
Upload File Python when choose method = Python File
To access the output of a previous node inside your Python script, use the template syntax:
{{nodeName.output}}
nodeName: The system name (ID) of the node you want to reference (e.g. weather-0, http-1, etc.).
.output: Refers to the full output object from that node.
Example usage:
def run(): return {{weather-0.output}}
return run()
This script will pass the entire output from the node named weather-0 directly into the Python logic.
Note:
The {{ }} Syntax is evaluated before the Python code runs. It injects real JSON data at runtime.
Make sure the referenced node has already executed successfully and produced output.
