RUAL Core v15.0.0

Our platform operates on software, commonly known as core. This software can be run either locally within the cloud environment of Enterprise Customers or within our AWS cluster.

Modified or newly introduced blocks

In this release 54 blocks have been modified and 210 new blocks were introduced. You'll find a complete list of blocks at the bottom of this page.

AI in blueprints: Anthropic connection

A new family of 26 blocks brings AI straight into blueprints around the Anthropic connection. Send messages with anthropicconnection_message or stream them with anthropicconnection_message_stream, give the model tools like web search, code execution and memory, branch or switch between tool flows, build and parse JSON schemas, classify input, count tokens, preflight requests and run batches. Usage and memory management blocks round out the set.

Places and geo

Fourteen new places blocks query the places dataset: places_search, nearest and within-radius lookups, bounding box queries, filtering, facets, enrichment, category resolution and free-text query parsing. Geo points gain helpers like geo_point_reverse_geocode, validation, snapping, nearby search, land cover and city lookup, and arrays get geo helpers including array_reverse_geocode.

NS: Dutch railways

The new NS connection covers the Dutch railway API: plan trips with nsconnection_trips, list departures and arrivals, find stations and nearest stations, and read current disruptions.

More new blocks

• Currency: convert, format, list and rate blocks, for example currency_convert.
• Email through Lettermint: lettermintconnection_send_email and a batch variant.
• Flow control: function_run_parallel, function_rate_limit, function_wait_for_queue_item, a millisecond timer, neighbor search and a passwordless login code request.
• Thirteen ready-made TTL helpers such as date_ttl_1_day, from one minute to one year.
• Media and files: video_compress, video size, file_hash and file spreading.
• Values and conditions: value_random_string, value_sha256_hmac and condition_regexp_test.
• And more: raw request bodies, OpenStreetMap tiles, byte converters, a phrase prefix query block and mssgs_send_message.

Improved blocks

• function_broadcast and function_write_to_websocket accept an optional fields whitelist, projecting only the selected fields into the outgoing response.
• value_parse_querystring now honors its separator and equal pins when parsing.
• The SHA hashing blocks (value_sha1, value_sha256, value_sha512) take over incoming state on their extra pins.

Documentation

Block pages in this documentation gained a machine-readable semantics section per block, a per-block version history, and studio-style canvas examples for the most-used blocks. Block changes are now tracked per release from the block catalog, so future release notes list exact block and pin changes.

Blocks introduced

access denied homeassist Starts the flow when someone is refused: an unknown card, a wrong PIN, a credential outside its schedule. access granted homeassist Starts the flow when someone is let in: a valid card, PIN, wave or mobile credential. The actor and method are on the out-pins. acknowledge purchase androidconnection Tells Play you have granted what the user bought. Not optional: Google revokes and refunds any purchase left unacknowledged for three days, so a flow that verifies a purchase and stops here gives the money back : days later, quietly. apple: get subscription status function Asks Apple what a subscription's state is right now, instead of believing what arrived in a notification. This is the authoritative read : use it when a notification was missed or arrived out of order, and whenever a client claims an entitlement. apple: verify signed payload function Verifies an Apple-signed JWS : an App Store Server Notification's signedPayload, or the signedTransactionInfo / signedRenewalInfo nested inside one : and returns its claims. The signature is the only thing separating a real purchase from someone posting themselves a subscription, so nothing downstream should trust a payload this block did not pass. base64 to file function Accepts a base64 string and returns a file. The file is written to its own directory under /temp/ (/temp/{id}/{filename}) so concurrent conversions never share a name. battery low homeassist Starts the flow when a device's battery drops below the threshold, or reports its own low-battery flag. blurhash function Compute a blurhash placeholder for the given images : a ~30 character string a client paints as a blur while the real image loads broadcast function Send a message across different sessions over a channel and event. These messages are on send and forget base and are not stored. build output template anthropicconnection Pick the fields Claude should return and describe each one; produces an output template for a Claude block's output template. Each field's type comes from the field itself; per field you set a description and (optionally) the allowed options. No JSON Schema knowledge needed. build tool anthropicconnection Define a tool Claude can call and pick the function that runs it. The function receives the model's arguments as in-pins and returns the result back to Claude. Feed the output into a message block's tools pin. button pressed homeassist Starts the flow when a button or scene switch is pressed. The `value` pin says which press it was: single, double, hold, release. camera motion detected homeassist Starts the flow when a camera detects motion. cancel payment stripeconnection Cancels a payment that has not completed. A payment that already succeeded cannot be cancelled : refund it instead. cancel subscription stripeconnection Cancels a subscription. By default at the end of the paid-for period: the customer keeps their access until it runs out, the subscription stays active with cancels at period end set, and resume subscription undoes it. Tick immediately to stop access now : that is irreversible, and unless prorate is set the customer is not credited for the unused time. check per-apex slots dnszone Report which per-apex slots a group member has filled, which it will never need, and which nobody has answered for. classify anthropicconnection Classify input into exactly one of your labels using Claude; route the resulting label with a switch block. climate set homeassist Sets an air conditioner or thermostat: on/off, mode, target temperature, fan speed. code (highlighted) state Source code with syntax highlighting. Renders server-side with no external library; supports nginx, javascript, json, bash, go, sql and yaml. code execution tool anthropicconnection Let Claude run Python in a sandbox (data analysis, math, charts); Anthropic-hosted. Wire the tool output into a message block's tools pin. compress video Compresses a video file with ffmpeg as a background queue job. Use a preset for standard message-media output, or override individual settings. Wire on_complete_function / on_error_function to react to the result. connect function Opens a Stripe connection. Point it at a Stripe service provider so the secret key stays in the provider store and never appears in this blueprint : the API key pin is the older way and leaves the key readable to anyone who can open the flow. contact closed homeassist Starts the flow when a door or window is closed. contact opened homeassist Starts the flow when a door or window is opened. convert currency currency Convert an amount between currencies using ECB daily reference rates. copy file Copies the given files into a destination directory, keeping each file's original name. The destination directory is a folder path (created if missing), not a full path including the filename : e.g. /public/uploads copies hero.png to /public/uploads/hero.png. Place the directory under /public/… to make the copies publicly servable via /static/…. To rename the copy, set the optional filename pin (single source file only). To fan one file out to several full paths and/or names at once, use the file spread block instead. count tokens anthropicconnection Count the input tokens a prompt (with system + attachments) would use, and estimate the cost; before you send it. Free; no spend. create batch anthropicconnection Submit many prompts as one asynchronous batch at 50% of the standard price (results within 24h). Wire on_finished/on_item to be called automatically when the batch completes (the system polls in the background), or poll the batch_id yourself with the get batch block. create checkout stripeconnection Creates a Stripe Checkout Session and returns the url of Stripe's hosted payment page to redirect the customer to : or, with ui mode set to embedded, a client secret for mounting Checkout inline on your own page. No card data reaches this cluster. Either wire line_items, or give amount + product name for a one-off price that needs nothing set up in Stripe first. create credit note stripeconnection Credits a customer against an invoice : the accounting way to give a subscriber a month back without refunding their card. credit_balance (the default) puts the amount on their Stripe balance so it comes off their next invoice; refund also sends the money back; out_of_band just records that you settled it elsewhere. The invoice id comes off get subscription as latest invoice id, or off list invoices. create customer stripeconnection Creates the Stripe customer that saved cards, subscriptions and invoices hang off. Stripe enforces no uniqueness : creating this twice for one person gives them two billing histories and two sets of saved cards, so wire an idempotency key from your own user GUID. create memory anthropicconnection Open (or create) a persistent memory by id. The same id returns the same memory across runs, so Claude can pick a conversation back up weeks later. Feed the memory into a send message block. create payment stripeconnection Creates a PaymentIntent : the route for a custom card form, where the page confirms with Stripe.js using the client secret. For a hosted payment page use create checkout instead. Also the way to charge a card already on file, with off session. create refund stripeconnection Sends money back to whatever the customer paid with. Leave amount empty to refund the whole payment. This is one of the two ways to credit someone : it moves real money out of the account. The other is create credit note, which settles against a future invoice instead. create subscription stripeconnection Starts recurring billing for a customer who already has a payment method on file. To collect the card and subscribe in one step, use create checkout in subscription mode instead. delay ms function generate a delay in milliseconds delete memory anthropicconnection Delete a memory by id (forget the conversation and its files). device adopt homeassist Takes a discovered device into service, so triggers fire for it and blocks can command it. device adopted homeassist Starts the flow when a device is taken into service. device discovered homeassist Starts the flow when a NEW device appears on the radio, before it is adopted. device forget homeassist Removes a device from RUAL. It stays paired to the radio and will reappear, unadopted, on its next report. device overview state A ready-made overview of every device home automation knows about: grouped by room or adapter, with live capability readings, sparklines from the analytics store, and the devices that are discovered but not yet adopted. Renders from standard components, so it can be styled and taken apart like anything else. device rename homeassist Sets a device's friendly name and/or room. device set homeassist Sets any capability on any device. The escape hatch for things the specific blocks do not cover. device state changed homeassist Starts the flow on ANY change from a device. The catch-all : use a specific trigger where one exists. device unavailable homeassist Starts the flow when a device stops responding. door lock homeassist Locks a door, and holds it locked unless you ask it not to. door or gate closed homeassist Starts the flow when a controlled door or gate physically closes. door or gate locked homeassist Starts the flow when the lock engages. door or gate opened homeassist Starts the flow when a controlled door or gate physically opens. door or gate unlocked homeassist Starts the flow when the lock releases, whether or not the door then opens. door unlock homeassist Unlocks a door. By default this is a momentary unlock : the door releases long enough for one person, then re-locks : matching the 'let them in' button. doorbell rang homeassist Starts the flow when someone rings a doorbell or door station. enrich with nearby places places Adds the nearest place per category to every item in a list, in one call : no iterator needed. The usual pipeline is: query your objects, run this block, then write the result back with a mutation. After that an ordinary range query filters on the stored distance, so no further lookups are needed. Each item gets {distance_m, name, id, count} per category under output path. Items are copied, never modified in place, and every item is returned whether or not it had a usable coordinate. exchange rate currency Get the exchange rate between two currencies (ECB daily reference rates). facet counts by places places Counts how many items in a list are near each category : “412 objects near a hospital” in one node. Counts items, not places: an item with three hospitals nearby counts once, which is what a facet over an inventory means. Pass categories with a shared radius, or filters for a named filter per facet. filter by places places Keeps or removes items from a list according to a places filter, without writing anything to a store. Feed it a filter from places_parse_query to turn typed text such as binnen 300m van een basisschool straight into a filtered list. Items with no usable coordinate cannot satisfy a spatial test, so they are treated as not matching. format currency currency Format an amount as a currency string with symbol and grouped thousands (e.g. $1,234.50). from city geo Resolves a city/town name (optionally constrained to a country code, e.g. NL, and a province/state, e.g. Vermont) to a geo point at the city centre, plus the city's radius in metres and its province/country. Offline lookup against the embedded dataset. A city name is not unique within a country : eight US states have a Morristown : so wire province whenever you know it, for example straight from geo point reverse geocode. from path file Turns a path (or list of paths) into a file, so a stored path can be handed to the file blocks. A leading slash means the entity root. Missing paths are left out and reported on success rather than failing : deleting something already gone is not an error. fuzz geo locations array For each item in the array, replaces the location with a uniformly-random point within a disc of the item's fuzzing distance (km) when the item's fuzzing-enabled field is true. Items where fuzzing is disabled, the location is invalid, or the distance is non-positive pass through unchanged. gate close homeassist Closes a gate or garage door. gate closed homeassist Starts the flow when the gate physically closes. gate open homeassist Opens a gate or garage door. gate opened homeassist Starts the flow when the gate physically opens. gb in bytes number Converts an amount of gigabytes (GB) to bytes. Binary/1024-based: 1 GB = 1,073,741,824 bytes. generate random string value Generates a cryptographically random string from an alphabet you choose. Use it for human-facing codes (claim, invite, voucher) where the alphabet has to exclude lookalike characters. Every character of the alphabet is equally likely. get active sensors homeassist Returns every sensor that is currently triggered: motion present, doors open, leaks found. get all devices homeassist Returns every adopted device, optionally filtered by type, room or adapter. get arrivals nsconnection Get the live arrival board for a station. Provide the station code or the UIC code. get batch anthropicconnection Poll a batch by id. Fires `ended` and returns all results (text/usage/cost per custom_id) once processing finishes. get checkout stripeconnection Reads back a Checkout Session to answer did they pay. Branch on the paid pin, not on status : a session reaches status complete in subscription and setup modes where no money moved at all. get customer stripeconnection Reads a Stripe customer. A customer deleted in Stripe comes back as a tombstone rather than an error : this block reports that as CUSTOMER_DELETED instead of handing back an almost-empty object that looks live. get departures nsconnection Get the live departure board for a station. Provide the station code or the UIC code. get device homeassist Returns one device: its name, room, capabilities and current state. get device history homeassist Returns recorded readings for one capability of one device, optionally bucketed for charting. get device state homeassist Reads one capability from one device : is the motion sensor triggered, what is the temperature. get disruptions nsconnection Get current disruptions and engineering works on the NS network. get fields object Gets the selected fields from the given object. get lights that are on homeassist Returns every light currently switched on. get memory anthropicconnection Read a memory's contents by id (conversation history, memory files, summary) without creating one. get multiple documents (cached) function Get multiple documents from the given storage using the hot document cache. Fetches each document individually. Skips documents that do not exist or are removed. get nearest stations nsconnection Find the NS stations closest to a coordinate. Provide a geo point, or a separate latitude and longitude. get payment stripeconnection Answers did this payment succeed, and what did they pay with. The payment method pins come off the charge, so they report the method actually used rather than the ones that were offered. get place by id places Looks up a single place by its Overture id : the block for re-resolving an id you stored earlier. Not finding it is a successful lookup with found false, not an error: an id can disappear between dataset releases, so branch on found rather than on success. Ids are opaque; do not parse them. get raw body httpconnection Returns the request body exactly as received on the wire, as a string : the bytes an HMAC signature covers. Use this (never a re-serialized object) when verifying signature headers like X-Mssgs-Signature. get rooms homeassist Returns the list of rooms that have devices assigned to them. get stations nsconnection List or search NS stations. Leave the search empty to retrieve all stations. get status homeassist Returns which radios are connected and how many devices are known. get subscription stripeconnection Reads a subscription : whether it is active, when the paid-for period ends, and whether it is set to run out. Also where the latest invoice id a credit note needs comes from. get usage anthropicconnection Report total tokens and cost used on this connection (USD and the connection's currency), with a per-category breakdown. get video size file Returns the dimensions of the video given (MP4-family containers). hash file Computes a content hash (sha256 by default; md5/sha1 supported) for each given file : e.g. to detect duplicate uploads before storing them. humidity changed homeassist Starts the flow when a humidity reading changes. Set above or below to fire only when it crosses a threshold. import zone export dnszone Read a Route53 export and hand back the records, the SOA timers and the delegation, ready to store. is nearby geo Checks whether a road or railway is within a given distance of a geo point, and returns the nearest point on it. Offline lookup against the road/rail network (Benelux, OpenStreetMap). is valid geo Checks whether the given geo point has a valid latitude and longitude. land cover geo Resolves a geo point to a terrain / land-cover type (urban, agricultural, forest, grassland, wetland, water, bare, coastal). Offline raster lookup (Benelux, simplified CORINE). light dim homeassist Sets a light's brightness without changing anything else. light off homeassist Turns a light off. light on homeassist Turns a light on. Optionally set brightness, colour temperature or colour in the same command. light toggle homeassist Flips a light: on if it is off, off if it is on. light turned off homeassist Starts the flow when a light is switched off. light turned on homeassist Starts the flow when a light is switched on : by anyone, including a wall switch or the vendor's own app. list currencies currency List the supported currency codes (the ECB set plus EUR). list invoices stripeconnection The billing history for a customer or a subscription, newest first. Set at least one of the two filters : unfiltered this would walk the whole account. The latest invoice pins are the shortcut for "credit their last month". list memories anthropicconnection List all memories (id, timestamps, expiry, turn count) for browsing or housekeeping. list payment methods stripeconnection The cards and mandates a customer has saved, for a "pay with a card on file" screen. Each entry carries a label so a picker can be rendered without digging through the nested object. list place categories places Lists the curated category groups with their Dutch and English labels and synonyms : the block to build a category dropdown from. Overture ships roughly 1700 raw categories, which is far too many to show a user, so they are folded into a smaller curated set. Any group id or synonym listed here can be passed to the categories pin on the other blocks. load balancer fleet status nginxsite Ask every load balancer what it serves and whether the fleet agrees with itself. Reads only. lock or wait function Sets a lock or waits until the lock has been released. match places filter places Tests one geo point against a places filter, normally one from places_parse_query. distance_m and count come back whether or not the filter matched, so you can re-answer any radius question from the result without calling again : which is what lets a radius slider move without a round trip. reason is a readable Dutch explanation you can show to the user. mb in bytes number Converts an amount of megabytes (MB) to bytes. Binary/1024-based: 1 MB = 1,048,576 bytes. memory from json anthropicconnection Cast a raw {id, guid} object into a memory handle for a send message block; for passing a memory handle you already have. memory tool anthropicconnection Let Claude manage its own long-term memory notes (read, write, search) for the wired memory. Drop into a message block's tools pin; use the toggles to limit what it may do. multiple anthropicconnection Combine several tools into one connection for a message block's tools pin. nearest places places Finds the nearest points of interest to a geo point, ordered by distance, with the distance to each in metres. Leave max distance empty for an unbounded search : because you get distances back rather than a yes/no, you can apply any radius afterwards without querying again, which is what makes a free-choice radius slider possible. Data is Overture Maps Places; see places_dataset_info for the release, and note that counts are indicative rather than a register. nfc card swiped homeassist Starts the flow when any NFC card or fob is presented to a reader, whether or not it was accepted. on api file upload on Exposes URI on /api/. Accepts a multipart/form-data POST request and saves the attached file. Supports its own rate limit and lock (serialisation) through the pins below. open connection sftp open sftp connection open connection lettermintconnection Opens a new lettermint connection using the given API token. open connection nsconnection Open a connection with the NS (Nederlandse Spoorwegen) Reisinformatie API. Reuse the resulting connection in the other NS blocks. open connection function Opens a MSSQL connection. open connection function Create a connection to the Anthropic (Claude) API for use by Claude blocks. output template from json anthropicconnection Cast a raw JSON Schema object into an output template for a message block (or a tool's parameters); for full control beyond the build output template block. pairing open homeassist Opens the radio for new devices to join, for a bounded number of seconds. parse json (repair) anthropicconnection Recover and parse JSON from messy text (code fences, prose, trailing commas, truncation). No API call. parse places query places Turns typed Dutch or English into a structured filter. binnen 300m van een basisschool becomes a proximity filter; niet bij scholen becomes a negated one; minimaal 3 kroegen binnen 500m carries a minimum count; wijk Jordaan and Station Breda resolve to a location. Feed filter into places_match, places_filter or places_facet. Parsing is rule-based and deterministic : no model call and no network. It never guesses silently: anything it could not read comes back in unparsed with a lower confidence, so you can fall back to plain search instead of acting on a half-understood filter. place density places Measures how built-up the area around a point is: how many places sit within the radius, the rate per km², a breakdown per category, and a classification (dense_urban, urban, suburban, rural). The classification is driven by the per-km² rate rather than the raw count, so it does not change when you change the radius. Data is Overture Maps Places. place here places Resolves the place a coordinate is at, rather than the record nearest to it. Two things separate it from places_nearest. It ignores records that are not places you can be at : at Madurodam the restaurant inside it is a metre nearer than the park, and the park is still the answer. And it recognises being inside something: a point in the middle of the Efteling has a snack bar four metres away and the park's own record half a kilometre off at the entrance, so the answer is the park. That is inferred from the park's own attractions surrounding you, because Overture Places has points and no boundaries; kind tells you which way the answer was reached, and a point with nothing prominent around it honestly answers none rather than reaching for the nearest landmark it can find. places dataset info places Reports which dataset this node is serving: the Overture release, the vocabulary version, and how many records and categories it holds. This is the one places block that answers when no dataset is loaded : that is its job, so check loaded rather than success. Worth surfacing in an admin view: the release string is what makes results reproducible and comparable between refreshes. Accuracy limits worth knowing: education categories overcount by roughly 6% against the official register, counts are indicative until conflation exists, and confidence is uncalibrated. places in bounding box places Returns every point of interest inside a bounding box : the block for rendering what is currently on screen. Results carry no distance, because a bounding box has no query point; use places_nearest when you need distances. Data is Overture Maps Places. places within radius places Returns every point of interest inside a radius, nearest first. Reports both count and raw_count: Overture is not conflated, so the gap between them is how much duplication the source data carries at this spot. Treat count as a deduplicated search result, not a census : train_station totals 1,432 nationally against roughly 400 real stations. Data is Overture Maps Places. plan trip nsconnection Plan a journey between an origin and a destination. Each endpoint accepts a station code, a UIC code, or a geo point. preflight document anthropicconnection Convert a document (PDF, image, HTML, spreadsheet, text) to clean Markdown with a cheap model, stripping boilerplate; run before sending it to an expensive model to cut tokens. preflight documents anthropicconnection Convert several documents to clean Markdown with a cheap model, in parallel. Returns one .md file per input plus the concatenated Markdown; run before sending an upload set to an expensive model. presence cleared homeassist Starts the flow when a room becomes empty. presence detected homeassist Starts the flow when someone is detected in a room. probe video Reads width, height, duration, size and whether the file has audio : without transcoding. Runs inline (ffprobe is milliseconds), so branch on the result before deciding whether to compress. push site config to the load balancers nginxsite Replace the live site config and reload nginx, per node. Gated on a passing nginxsite_check over these exact bytes for every target node. push zone to the nameservers dnszone Replace the live zone file and reload, per nameserver. Only reachable once the check passed on every node. rate limit function Counts calls per registered key and reports whether this one is still within the limit. Replaces the incr-key + ttl + condition chain every API blueprint used to build by hand: pick a key that identifies the caller (for example one with a {ip:value} placeholder), a limit, and a window. Rejected calls count towards the limit as well. raw request nsconnection Perform a raw GET request against any NS Reisinformatie API path. Use this for endpoints without a dedicated block. remove fields conditional array For each object in the array, removes the configured fields only when the value at match_key equals match_value. Non-matching items pass through unchanged. Original objects are not mutated. remove site config from the load balancers nginxsite Remove a live site config and reload nginx, per node. The far side refuses when the remaining set would not validate without it, and archives rather than destroys. render zone file dnszone Render a complete BIND zone file from stored records, with the decision report that belongs in front of a push. reply in json httpconnection Reply to any httpconnection as JSON body request passwordless login code function Send a passwordless login code (email or SMS) to a user. Bypasses the rate limit so it can be triggered right after creating an account. The code itself is never exposed. resolve place category places Resolves free text such as kroeg, basisschool or supermarkt to a category group id. Regular plurals are handled, so kroegen and bars work without being listed. When a word spans several groups : school is the obvious case : the alternatives are returned rather than one being picked silently, because only you know which was meant. resume subscription stripeconnection Renews a subscription that was going to stop: clears cancels at period end, and lifts a pause if one is set. A subscription that has already ended cannot be resumed by anything : the block says so rather than failing obscurely, and a new subscription has to be created. reverse geocode array Enriches an array of objects in place: for each item it reads the geo point at the location key and writes the resolved city, province, country and country code into the configured output keys. Offline lookup (embedded multi-country dataset). reverse geocode geo Resolves a geo point to the nearest street, city, province and country. City/province/country are nearest-populated-place, and always stay in the country of the nearest known place : a point near a border is never relabelled with a larger city on the other side. Street is the nearest named road (needs the road network loaded). run parallel function Runs up to 5 selected functions in parallel to speed up execution, then continues the flow once all have finished. Each function's return values are exposed on its own result_N object pin. Sets success=false and a global error if any function fails. search as you type query Matches documents whose field starts with the given phrase, analyzed on both sides. Use this for type-ahead: the last word is treated as a prefix and the input goes through the same analyzer as the stored text, so mssgs test matches MSSGS-Test-1. For an exact, unanalyzed prefix on a keyword field use starts with instead. search neighbors function Given an anchor GUID, returns the N documents directly before and the M directly after it when the storage is sorted by the chosen field. Use this to show context around a specific document (e.g. messages around a chat message) without paginating the whole storage. search places places One search box over both points of interest and settlements, with a single ranking across the two. Handles accents (Bréda finds Breda), typos (amsterdm centraal), partial words as you type, and collapses duplicate records for the same real place. Settlements outrank businesses, so Breda resolves to the municipality rather than to one of the ~2000 business names containing it. Pass near to bias results towards the current viewport. Each result carries kind, subtitle and score, so a dropdown renders straight from them. security alarm activated homeassist Starts the flow when the security system's own alarm goes active. send email lettermintconnection sends a single email via Lettermint. send email batch lettermintconnection sends up to 500 emails in a single Lettermint batch request. Each item in the input array supports the same fields as the single send block (from, to, subject, html, text, cc, bcc, reply_to, tag, attachments). send message anthropicconnection Send a message to Claude and get the reply, with built-in cost guard, model allowlist and typed error reporting. send message mssgs Send a message into a mssgs channel. Point it at a mssgs service provider so the webhook URL stays out of this blueprint : the URL embeds the webhook's token, so anyone who can read it can post to the channel. Only the destination and the message are required; the other pins map to the rich message_container options. sensor activated homeassist Starts the flow when a sensor turns ON: motion detected, a door opened, water found, smoke detected. sensor deactivated homeassist Starts the flow when a sensor turns OFF: motion cleared, a door closed, a leak stopped. sha1 value sha256 value sha256 value HMAC-SHA256 of the value keyed with the secret, as lowercase hex : e.g. to verify a webhook's X-Mssgs-Signature: sha256=<hex> header against the raw request body. sha512 value smoke detected homeassist Starts the flow when a smoke alarm triggers. snap to network geo Snaps a geo point onto the nearest road or railway (road/track pinning). Outputs the snapped point and how far it moved. Offline lookup against the road/rail network (Benelux, OpenStreetMap). spread file Copies a single source file to multiple destination paths, creating a real copy for each. Each entry in paths is a full destination path including the filename (e.g. /public/uploads/hero.png), so one upload can be fanned out to several locations and/or names at once. stream message anthropicconnection Send a prompt to Claude and stream the reply token-by-token to a WebSocket channel as it generates, then return the full text. summarize memory anthropicconnection Compact a memory: fold the older turns into a running summary and trim the history, so a long conversation stays cheap and in-context while keeping its gist. Run it periodically. switch off homeassist Turns a plug, relay or switch off. switch on homeassist Turns a plug, relay or switch on. switch turned off homeassist Starts the flow when a plug, relay or switch is turned off. switch turned on homeassist Starts the flow when a plug, relay or switch is turned on. tb in bytes number Converts an amount of terabytes (TB) to bytes. Binary/1024-based: 1 TB = 1,099,511,627,776 bytes. temperature changed homeassist Starts the flow when a temperature reading changes. Set above or below to fire only when it crosses a threshold. test condition Returns true if the regular expression matches the text. Mirrors JS RegExp.prototype.test(). thumbnail video Extracts a single frame from a video as a JPEG poster image. Runs inline : it decodes one frame, not the whole file. to unix milliseconds date Converts a date, date string, or epoch timestamp to a Unix timestamp in MILLISECONDS : the unit of _meta.ums/cms/rms and of most external APIs. Numbers (and numeric strings) are detected by size: values of 100000000000 (11 digits, March 1973) and above are already milliseconds and pass through, smaller values are read as seconds and multiplied. Pre-1973 millisecond values are outside the detection range : convert those by hand. Anything non-numeric is parsed like every other date pin, in the entity timezone. to unix seconds date Converts a date, date string, or epoch timestamp to a Unix timestamp in SECONDS : the unit the platform's date fields store. Numbers (and numeric strings) are detected by size: values of 100000000000 (11 digits, March 1973) and above are read as milliseconds and divided, smaller values pass through as seconds; fractional seconds are floored. Pre-1973 millisecond values are outside the detection range : convert those by hand. Anything non-numeric is parsed like every other date pin, in the entity timezone. tool from json anthropicconnection Cast a raw JSON object into a tool for a message block's tools pin; for full control beyond the build tool block. tool if anthropicconnection Pick a tool based on a condition: outputs the true tool when the condition holds, otherwise the false tool. Add elseif branches for more cases. tool switch anthropicconnection Pick a tool by matching an expression against case values (with an optional default). Wire the result into a message block's tools pin. travel mode from points geo Classifies which network a series of GPS points is travelling on (road pinning): when at least min ratio of the points lie within max distance of a road or railway, the traveller is pinned to that network : e.g. the last 5 fixes near a road means driving, near a railway means riding a train. When both networks qualify the one with the smaller mean distance wins. Outputs the mode (road, rail or none), per-network conditions, the match confidence and the points snapped onto the matched network. A single geo point object is accepted as well; entries without numeric lat/lon are ignored. Offline lookup against the road/rail network (Benelux, OpenStreetMap). ttl 1 day date Gives you the current date plus 1 day. Useful as a TTL value. ttl 1 hour date Gives you the current date plus 1 hour. Useful as a TTL value. ttl 1 minute date Gives you the current date plus 1 minute. Useful as a TTL value. ttl 1 month date Gives you the current date plus 1 month. Useful as a TTL value. ttl 1 week date Gives you the current date plus 1 week. Useful as a TTL value. ttl 1 year date Gives you the current date plus 1 year. Useful as a TTL value. ttl 12 hours date Gives you the current date plus 12 hours. Useful as a TTL value. ttl 2 weeks date Gives you the current date plus 2 weeks. Useful as a TTL value. ttl 3 months date Gives you the current date plus 3 months. Useful as a TTL value. ttl 30 minutes date Gives you the current date plus 30 minutes. Useful as a TTL value. ttl 5 minutes date Gives you the current date plus 5 minutes. Useful as a TTL value. ttl 6 hours date Gives you the current date plus 6 hours. Useful as a TTL value. ttl 6 months date Gives you the current date plus 6 months. Useful as a TTL value. update subscription stripeconnection Upgrades, downgrades or re-quantities a subscription. proration behaviour decides what happens to the part of the term already paid for: create_prorations credits the unused time and bills the new plan pro rata on the next invoice, always_invoice bills it straight away, none leaves the customer on the old amount until the term ends. Changing the plan needs the subscription item's id, which this block looks up for you when you give a price id. validate site config on the load balancers nginxsite Run nginx -t for this site config on every load balancer, in the context of its full live config. Writes nothing to any live directory. validate zone on the nameservers dnszone Run named-checkzone on every nameserver. Writes nothing anywhere, on any node. verify serials across the nameservers dnszone Ask every nameserver which serial it is actually serving, and whether they agree. verify subscription androidconnection Reads a Play subscription's real state (subscriptionsv2). Use this rather than verify purchase for anything recurring : that one only answers for one-time products and 404s on a subscription token. verify webhook stripeconnection Proves an incoming webhook really came from Stripe, and unpacks the event. Wire the raw request body into payload : a body that has been parsed into an object and re-encoded will never verify, because the signature covers the exact bytes Stripe sent. Without this block an endpoint acts on anything POSTed to a URL that appears in the Stripe dashboard, the blueprint and every log it passed through. wait for queue item function Polls a queue document by GUID and blocks the flow until the job reaches a terminal state (executed/failed) or the timeout elapses. Use with any block that produces a queue_guid outpin (e.g. video_compress with wait_in_flow=false) to gate downstream work on background completion. water leak detected homeassist Starts the flow when a leak sensor finds water. web search tool anthropicconnection Let Claude search the web (Anthropic-hosted). Wire the tool output into a message block's tools pin. Optionally cap uses or restrict domains. world bbox osmworld Fetch OSM world geometry for a bounding box (south,west,north,east) as GeoJSON (roads, buildings, water, greenery). world tile osmworld Fetch OSM world geometry for a slippy-map tile (z/x/y) as GeoJSON (roads, buildings, water, greenery). Recommended zoom: 15. Geometry is simplified per zoom (buildings stay crisp at z≥15).
