Output This Snap has a maximum of one document output view. The output of the Snap contains the following:
  • run: Displays the status of the run thread.
  • messages: Displays the list of messages from the Message List API. The Snap displays the messages only when the run status completes.

Error

Error handling is a generic way to handle errors without losing data or failing the Snap execution. You can handle the errors that the Snap might encounter when running the pipeline by choosing one of the following options from the When errors occur list under the Views tab. The available options are:

  • Stop Pipeline Execution Stops the current pipeline execution when an error occurs.
  • Discard Error Data and Continue Ignores the error, discards that record, and continues with the remaining records.
  • Route Error Data to Error View Routes the error data to an error view without stopping the Snap execution.

Learn more about Error handling in Pipelines.

Field / field set Type Description
Label String

Required. Specify a unique name for the Snap. Modify this to be more appropriate, especially if more than one of the same Snaps is in the pipeline.

Default value: Run Thread

Example: OpenAI Run Thread
Assistant ID String/Expression/Suggestion

Required. Specify the ID of the assistant on which the thread has to run.

Default value: N/A

Example: asst_UDo4hjMyXqFxLXoy:General_Test
Thread ID String/Expression

Required. Specify the ID of the thread.

Default value: N/A

Example: thread_jkdhjkdhkdfkdfjvfkvf
Advanced tool configuration Use this field set to configure the tool calling settings, guiding model responses and optimizing output processing.
Tool choice Dropdown list/Expression
Choose the preferred tool which the model has to call. Available options include:
  • AUTO: The model chooses between generating a message or calling one or more tools.
  • NONE: The model does not call any tools and instead generates a message.
  • REQUIRED: The model must call one or more tools before responding to the user.
  • SPECIFY A FUNCTION: The model is forced to call a specific tool.

Default value: AUTO

Example: SPECIFY A FUNCTION
Function name String/Expression

Appears when you select SPECIFY A FUNCTION as the Tool choice.

Specify the name of the function the model must call.

Default value: N/A

Example: get_weather_info
Parallel tool call Checkbox/Expression

Select this checkbox to enable parallel tool calling.

Default status: Selected
Polling configuration Configure the following fields to modify the behavior of the polling time to fetch status.
Polling interval (ms) Integer/Expression

Specify the time-interval in milliseconds between each poll of the run status.

Default value: 1000

Example: 2000
Polling timeout (ms) Integer/Expression

Specify the total amount of time in milliseconds to wait before the Snap stops polling.

Default value: 300000

Example: 100000
Advanced response configurations Configure the response settings to customize the responses and optimize output processing.
Simplify response Checkbox/Expression Select this checkbox to receive the latest message and the run information in a simplified format. Here's an example of a simplified output format.
{
  "id": <string>,
  "assistant_id": <string>,
  "thread_id": <string>,
  "role": <string>,
  "content": <array/string>,
  "finish_reason": <string>,
  "error": <object/null>,
  "usage": {
    "prompt_tokens": <integer>,
    "output_tokens": <integer>,
    "total_tokens": <integer>,
  },
  "_sl_responses": <object of the raw responses for debug mode> //optional
  "original": {}
}
Important: This field does not support upstream values.

Default status: Deselected
Debug mode Checkbox/Expression

Appears when you select Simplify response checkbox.

Select this checkbox to enable debug mode. This mode provides the raw response in the _sl_response field and is recommended for debugging purposes only.

Important: This field does not support upstream values.

Default status: Deselected
Snap execution Dropdown list
Select one of the three modes in which the Snap executes. Available options are:
  • Validate & Execute: Performs limited execution of the Snap and generates a data preview during pipeline validation. Subsequently, performs full execution of the Snap (unlimited records) during pipeline runtime.
  • Execute only: Performs full execution of the Snap during pipeline execution without generating preview data.
  • Disabled: Disables the Snap and all Snaps that are downstream from it.

Default value: Validate & Execute

Example: Execute only

Troubleshooting

Waiting timeout reached for Thread ID.

The operation did not complete in the expected time.

Check the system's load or network conditions and try again later. If the issue persists, consider increasing the polling timeout.
