WebPage Node
Learn how the WebPage Node in Giselle allows you to fetch and use content from web pages as static inputs in your AI workflows.
WebPage Node in Giselle
The WebPage Node is used to fetch and hold content from web pages. You can input one or more URLs, and Giselle will attempt to retrieve the content from these pages. Currently, the fetched content is processed and made available primarily in Markdown format. This allows you to use web content as a static input source for AI models or other processing nodes within your workflow, enabling tasks like summarization, analysis, or content generation based on information from the web.
The WebPage Node functions as an independent variable node, providing a streamlined way to integrate web-based information into your Giselle applications.
Setting up a WebPage Node:
-
Add a WebPage Node:
- Drag and drop a “WebPage” node from the toolbar at the bottom of the canvas onto your workspace.
-
Configure URLs:
- Select the WebPage node on the canvas to open its configuration panel on the right.
- In the text area labeled “URLs (one per line)”, enter the full web addresses (URLs) of the pages from which you want to fetch content. If you have multiple URLs, enter each one on a new line.
-
Insert URLs:
- After entering the desired URLs, click the blue Insert button.
- Giselle will then attempt to fetch the content from the specified URLs.
- Once the URLs are processed, the configuration panel will update to list the added pages, often displaying their titles or a reference to the URL. The “URLs (one per line)” input area and the Insert button will remain, allowing you to add more URLs if needed.
Output of the WebPage Node:
- Content: After successfully fetching data from the provided URLs, the WebPage Node makes this content available as its output.
- Format: The fetched content is primarily delivered in Markdown format. This standardized format makes it easy to use in subsequent text-processing nodes.
- Connectivity: The output of the WebPage Node can be connected to other nodes in your workflow. For instance, you can feed the Markdown content into a Generator Node to summarize an article, extract specific information, or use it as context for generating new content.
The WebPage node on the canvas will have an “Output” port, which you can drag to connect to an input port of another node.
Example: Summarizing a Web Article
-
Configure WebPage Node:
- Add a WebPage Node.
- Input the URL of an online blog article (e.g.,
https://giselles.ai/blog/transforming-product-development-human-ai-collaboration
). - Click Insert.
-
Connect to Generator Node:
- Add a Generator Node.
- Connect the “Output” of the WebPage Node to an input (e.g., a context or document input) of the Generator Node.
-
Configure Generator Node:
- Instruct the Generator Node to summarize the provided text. For example, use a prompt like: “Please summarize the following article concisely:”
-
Run Workflow:
- When the workflow runs, the WebPage Node fetches the article content as Markdown, and the Generator Node produces a summary.
Future Updates
The WebPage Node’s user interface and functionality, including supported output formats, may be updated incrementally in future Giselle releases.
