Adding the No op step

The No op control step does not involve any actions. You may need to use this step, e.g., to successfully complete a pipeline if the default condition is met in the Switch step or if you need a placeholder step when prototyping your workflow.

Tip

There is an icon next to some fields in the Yandex AI Studio UI. These fields support templates for dynamic data retrieval from previous workflow steps. To avoid typing a template manually, click and enter {{ in the field.

Management console
  1. When creating a new workflow or editing an existing one, in the management console, under Create workflow / Edit workflow, select Constructor.

  2. From the Control steps section on the left side of the screen, drag the No op element to the relevant workflow location in the constructor window.

    You can drag and drop steps into areas marked by the dotted line in the workflow schema, such as Add a step, etc.

  3. In the workflow schema window, click the added No op section to select it.

  4. At the right of the window, on the Settings tab.

    1. In the Step name field, enter a name for the workflow step.

  5. Optionally, navigate to the Output tab and set a jq template to filter the step outputs added into the workflow state.
