Node Types

x402.jobs uses four types of nodes to build workflows. Each node type has a specific purpose and visual indicator.

Trigger

Color: Purple

The Trigger node is where every workflow begins. It defines how and when your workflow starts executing.

Trigger Types

Configuration

• Name: A label for your trigger
• Type: Manual, Webhook, or Schedule
• Input Data: Optional JSON data passed to downstream nodes

Resource

Color: Blue

Resource nodes are x402 endpoints that you pay to use. Each resource displays its price and executes when the workflow runs.

Properties

• Price: Cost in USDC to execute
• Inputs: Required and optional parameters
• Output: Data returned after execution

Behavior

• Resources only execute when connected to the workflow path
• Payment is made automatically during execution
• Async resources (like image generation) are polled until complete

Transform

Color: Amber/Orange

Transform nodes process data between resources. Use them to extract fields, format strings, or run custom logic.

Transform Types

Example: Extract a field

// Input: { "user": { "name": "Alice" } }
// Transform: $.user.name
// Output: "Alice"

Example: Template

Hello, {{user.name}}! Welcome to {{platform}}.

Output

Color: Green/Emerald

The Output node displays the final result of your workflow. It automatically renders images, JSON, or text based on the content type.

Features

• Auto-detects image URLs and displays them inline
• Formats JSON for readability
• Shows execution status and errors
• Expandable for large outputs

Output Fields

Node Status Indicators

During execution, nodes display their current status:
