Binding is only about fan-out of one answer. It does not merge different properties: the bound nodes must carry the same property (same leaf name), such as channel on two Slack steps.

The Bind feature
Answer once, fill the same property across several nodes.
What it is
Bind lets one question fill the same property on several nodes. Next to every "Ask user" field there is a Bind button. It opens a node picker; the builder ticks the other nodes that share the same property, and the binding shows as a badge listing the node numbers (for example "1 - 3 - 5"). At run time the user answers once, and the platform writes that single answer into the matching property on every bound node. The match is by property name on each selected node, so it works generically across pieces.
When to use it
Use Bind whenever the same value appears in more than one step and must stay consistent:
- A Slack channel used by two different message steps.
- A recipient email used in a draft step and a send step.
- A topic or product name referenced in two AI prompts.
- A spreadsheet ID used by a read step and a write step.
Without Bind, each occurrence would need its own question. The user would answer the same thing twice, and a mismatch between the two answers would break the run in ways that are hard to see. With Bind the question list stays short and the value is guaranteed to be identical everywhere.
How to use it
- In the "All nodes" step, switch "Ask user" on for the field.
- Click Bind next to that field.
- In the picker, tick every node where the same property should receive the answer. The field's own node is always included.
- Confirm. The badge turns green and lists the bound nodes.
Bind is fan-out, not merging
