AI Text Classifier

Classifies a piece of text into one of a set of user-defined categories using an AI service.

Purpose

Use this task when a workflow needs to automatically route or label free-form text based on its meaning rather than exact keyword matching. It is well suited for classifying incoming emails, support tickets, or form submissions into predefined categories. The task returns the matched category name as its status, which can be used directly by downstream branching nodes.

Inputs

Field	Type	Required	Description
Classifications with Descriptions	Key-Value Pairs	Yes	The set of categories to classify into. Each entry has a name (the category label) and a description (a plain-English explanation of what belongs in that category). At least one entry is required.
User Input	Text	Yes	The text to classify. Supports variable placeholders that are resolved at runtime.

Outputs

The classification result is returned as the task's status value, which downstream branching nodes can evaluate to determine the matched category. This task does not produce a named output variable.
