Think

Description

This Node re-executes the Flow within a single iteration. The Node is useful when you want to restart the Flow, either with changed text or data or by explicitly triggering an Intent.

When the Think Node is reached, the Flow stops and restarts at the Start Node. This behavior can be changed if you use an Execute Flow Node in the parent Flow to access a child Flow with a Think Node. When the Think Node is reached, the child Flow stops, and execution resumes from the beginning of the parent Flow at its Start Node.

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
Think Action	Select	A type of action to execute: Think Text (default) — lets you rerun the Flow with input text and/or input data, which will then be treated as a simulated message from the end user. This input will be sent through the NLU engine again, identifying Slots and matching Intents. This option is selected by default. Trigger Intent — lets you rerun the Flow, ensuring a specific Intent is found instead of relying on the NLU engine. This approach is similar to the process outlined in Trigger Intent, where using an input like cIntent:orderFood triggers the orderFood Intent. You can achieve the same result by selection this option and entering orderFood in the Intent to trigger field.
Text to think	CognigyScript	This field appears if the Think Text (default) action is selected. The provided text serves as a message to emulate user input. This custom data will be available in the input.text object.
Data to think	JSON	This field appears if the Think Text (default) action is selected. The provided data serves as a message to emulate user input. This custom data will be available in the input.data object and can include any additional information that are relevant to the Flow.
Intent to trigger	CognigyScript	This field appears if the Trigger Intent action is selected. Cognigy will trigger the Intent using the cIntent method.

Error Handling

Parameter	Type	Description
Log to System Logs	Toggle	Log errors to the system logs. They can be viewed on the Logs page of your Project. The parameter is inactive by default.
Select Error Handling Approach	Select	You can select one of the Error Handling options: - Stop Flow Execution — terminate the current Flow execution. - Continue Flow Execution — allow the Flow to continue executing, bypassing the error and proceeding to the next steps. - Go to Node — redirect the workflow to a specific Node in the Flow, which can be useful for error recovery or customized error handling.
Error Message (optional)	Text	Active when the Continue Flow Execution option is selected. Optional message to output if the Search or Extract service fails.
Select Flow	Select	Active when the Go to Node option is selected. Select a Flow from the available options.
Select Node	Select	Active when the Go to Node option is selected. Select a Node from the available options.

Alternatives

When you need to process user input or other text in the middle of a Flow to retrieve an NLU result, and you do not want to restart the Flow from the Start Node, use the Execute Cognigy NLU Node.
