Mock

A placeholder node with no behavior. Use it to sketch the shape of a flow before implementing the actual logic — it passes through execution without doing anything and produces no output.

When to use Mock

  • Modeling: Rough out the structure of a complex flow before wiring in real nodes.
  • Stubbing: Hold a position in the flow where a node will be added later without breaking the flow's structure.

The Mock node is not intended for output simulation. To return a fixed value during testing without calling an external service, use a Script node that returns a hardcoded value.

Configuration

The Mock node has no configuration fields.

Output

The Mock node produces no output. Downstream nodes cannot reference any output from a Mock node.

Notes

  • A Mock node that is wired into the flow will execute (passing control to the next node) but does nothing.
  • Mock nodes should be replaced before publishing a flow to production.
