Text Input and Output
Text Input and Output components aren't supported in the Playground. Because the data isn't formatted as a chat message, the data doesn't appear in the Playground, and you can't chat with your flow in the Playground.
If you want to chat with a flow in the Playground, you must use the Chat Input and Output components.
Text Input and Output components are designed for flows that ingest or emit simple text strings. These components don't support full conversational interactions.
Passing chat-like metadata to a Text Input and Output component doesn't change the component's behavior; the result is still a simple text string.
Text Input
The Text Input component accepts a text string input that is passed to other components as Message data containing only the provided input text string in the text attribute.
It accepts only Text (input_value), which is the text supplied as input to the component.
This can be entered directly into the component or passed as Message data from other components.
Initial input shouldn't be provided as a complete Message object because the Text Input component constructs the Message object that is then passed to other components in the flow.
Text Output
The Text Output component ingests Message data from other components, emitting only the text attribute in a simplified Message object.
It accepts only Text (input_value), which is the text to be ingested and output as a string.
This can be entered directly into the component or passed as Message data from other components.
