Google Search
A guide on using the Google Search action to find real-time information on the web.
The Google Search Action allows your workflow to perform a Google search and retrieve the top results. This is an essential tool for gathering real-time information, researching topics, or finding relevant links based on dynamic data.
Configuration
You configure the action by specifying what you want to search for.
Input Parameters
Search Query
Text
The keyword or phrase you want to search for on Google. This can be static text or contain variables from previous actions (e.g., latest news about {{company_name}}
).
Top k
Integer
The number of top search results you want the action to return (e.g., 5
will return the top 5 results).
Example Configuration
{
"search_query": "What is AgenticFlow?",
"top_k": 3
}
Output
The action returns a list of search results, with each result containing the title, a snippet of the content, and a direct link to the page.
Output Parameter
search_results
List of JSON
A list of search result objects. Each object contains a title
, snippet
, and link
.
Accessing the Output
The search_results
output is a list, so you will often need to use a Code Action or a Loop Action to process it. For example, to get the link of the very first result, you would use {{google_search_action.search_results[0].link}}
.
Example Output
A sample {{google_search_action.search_results}}
output would look like this:
[
{
"title": "AgenticFlow | The Future of AI Automation",
"snippet": "Build powerful AI agents and automate your workflows with AgenticFlow's no-code platform...",
"link": "https://www.agenticflow.ai/"
},
{
"title": "What is an Agentic Workflow? - TechTarget",
"snippet": "An agentic workflow is a sequence of tasks performed by an AI agent to achieve a goal...",
"link": "https://www.techtarget.com/whatis/definition/agentic-workflow"
},
{
"title": "AgenticFlow on LinkedIn",
"snippet": "AgenticFlow | 5,432 followers on LinkedIn. Automate anything with autonomous AI agents.",
"link": "https://www.linkedin.com/company/agenticflow"
}
