- Check Whether URL (If): checks a condition and branches into true / false
- Rename Link Field (Edit Fields (Set)): sets 1 field: URL_PARSE
- AI Agent: runs an AI agent, with model: OpenAI Chat Model; 1 tool (Query Data Tool)
- Code: runs custom JavaScript code
- Send a Reply (Telegram): uses Telegram
- VLM Run Highlighter (AI Agent): runs an AI agent, with model: VLM Agent; output parser: Structured Output Parser
- Covert to Text File (Convert to File): converts data to a file (to text)
- Check URLs Validity (If): checks a condition and branches into true / false
- Send a document (Telegram): send document
- Insert Data to Store (Simple Vector Store): stores documents in the Simple vector store, with embeddings: Embeddings OpenAI; document loader: Default Data Loader
