# Template

> Turn connected data into text with readable field placeholders.

**Audience: Creators building and publishing workflows.**

## Overview

Template formats an object or input value into text without calling a model. Write placeholders such as `{{name}}`; missing values become empty text.

## Ports

- **Input: `in` (object):** Data used by placeholders.
- **Output: `out` (string):** Rendered text.

## Inspector

Enter the template text. Connected scalar values are available as `{{input}}` and `{{value}}`.
