Log message
Description
Writes a message to the execution log at INFO level. Use for debugging and auditing. Has execution pins (not pure).
When to use
Use Log message whenever you need a breadcrumb in the execution log — for example, after a branch decision, before an HTTP call, or at the end of a loop iteration. Because it has execution pins it participates in the execution flow, so you control exactly when it runs. For auditing data values, wire a conversion node (e.g. Integer to string) before the message input to turn typed values into readable text.
Pins
Input pins
| Pin | Type | Default | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Message | string | Hello world | The text to record. Inline expressions are not evaluated — wire a string-concatenate node upstream if you need dynamic content. Messages longer than 512 characters are cut short with a trailing "...". |
Execution pins
| Pin | Direction |
|---|---|
| In | Input |
| Out | Output |
Example
Log the outcome of a random roll before branching on it. Wire the Value output of Random integer through Integer to string, then feed the resulting text into the Message input of Log message. The execution log shows “Roll: 4” (or whatever value was rolled) so you can verify the roll before the branch decides what runs next.
