# Notes Block

The Notes Block is a simple yet essential tool designed to enhance organization, communication, and collaboration within your workspace. While it doesn’t interact with end users or influence the flow of conversation, it plays a crucial role in documenting internal logic and keeping your team aligned.

The Notes Block can be inserted at any point in your workflow and is **used exclusively for internal documentation**. It allows you to **add brief comments or reminders directly within your conversation flow**.

{% hint style="info" %}
Notes are not visible to end users. They are purely for internal use and will not appear in the chat interface.
{% endhint %}

## How It Works

Use the Notes Block to:

* **Provide context** around specific parts of the flow
* **Leave reminders** for future updates or maintenance
* **Communicate with collaborators**

✅ **Best Practice**: Place notes **close to relevant blocks** so they’re easy to spot and interpret when editing or reviewing the workflow later.

## Common Use Cases

#### 👥 Team Collaboration

When multiple people are working on the same assistant, Notes help everyone stay aligned by documenting key decisions, open tasks, or important clarifications.

#### 🔄 Tracking Changes

Use Notes to record recent or upcoming changes—such as adjustments to API blocks, logic tweaks, or updates to third-party integrations (e.g., Google Sheets).

#### 📚 Workflow Documentation

For complex flows, Notes can explain **why** a particular structure was chosen or what logic is being applied, making it easier for others (or your future self) to understand and maintain the assistant.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://guide.indigo.ai/getting-started/agents-workflows-and-triggers/blocks/utility-blocks/notes-block.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
