Configure an Agent¶

This guide covers how to configure and manage your AI agents in RhinoAgents, including updating settings, managing integrations, and configuring workflow nodes.

Overview¶

Once you've created an agent, you can configure various aspects including:

Agent settings - Update name, description, status, and version
Workflow nodes - Add and configure processing steps
Integrations - Connect external services and APIs
API keys & credentials - Securely manage authentication

Managing Agent Settings¶

Update Agent Status¶

You can enable or disable agents to control their availability:

Navigate to your Customer Dashboard
Select the agent from the left sidebar
Toggle the status switch next to the agent name
The agent status will update immediately

Available statuses: - Active - Agent is running and can process requests - Inactive - Agent is paused and won't process new requests

Update Agent Version¶

Agents support versioning to help you manage changes:

Open the agent you want to update
Click the Version dropdown at the top
Make your changes to the workflow or settings
Click Save As Version to create a new version
Your changes are saved without affecting the current live version

Version Management

Use versions to test changes before deploying them to production. You can always roll back to a previous version if needed.

Adding Nodes to Workflows¶

Nodes are the building blocks of your agent's workflow. Each node performs a specific task in the processing pipeline.

How to Add a Node¶

Open your agent in the dashboard
Click on the Nodes tab
Click the + Add Node button
Select a node from the available options or click + Add Trigger Node
Configure the node settings
Connect the node to your workflow by dragging connectors

Available Node Types¶

Trigger Nodes - Start your workflow based on events or messages - Configure trigger conditions and parameters

Processing Nodes - RAG Service - Retrieval-Augmented Generation for context-aware responses - LangChain - Advanced language model operations - Custom Actions - Execute custom logic or scripts

Output Nodes - Format and deliver responses - Send data to external systems

Node Configuration¶

Each node has specific configuration options:

Node Name - Give your node a descriptive name
Parameters - Set input parameters and variables
Conditions - Define when the node should execute
Error Handling - Configure fallback behavior

Workflow Flow

Nodes execute in sequence based on their connections. Use the visual workflow builder to see the execution flow.

Managing Integrations¶

Integrations allow your agents to connect with external services and APIs. The Integrations tab shows all available and configured integrations.

View Available Integrations¶

Open your agent
Click on the Integrations tab
Browse available integrations:
RAG Service - Document retrieval and generation
LangChain - Language model orchestration
Twitter - Social media integration
Socket.io - Real-time communication
And many more...

Integration Status Indicators¶

Each integration card shows its current status:

No config needed (Green badge) - Integration is ready to use
Wallet Config Available (Blue badge) - Configuration options available
Not configured (Orange badge) - Requires API keys or setup
Used in X workflow - Shows where the integration is being used
Used in X Node - Shows which nodes use this integration

Add an Integration to Your Agent¶

Navigate to the Integrations tab
Find the integration you want to add
Click on the integration card
If configuration is required, you'll be prompted to enter credentials
Click Save to add the integration
The integration will now be available in your workflow nodes

Configuring API Keys and Credentials¶

Many integrations require API keys or credentials to function. RhinoAgents provides a secure way to manage these credentials.

Add API Keys for an Integration¶

Go to the Integrations tab
Click on an integration that shows Not configured status
Click the Settings icon (⚙️) on the integration card
Enter the required credentials:
API Key - Your service API key
API Secret - Secret key if required
Endpoint URL - Custom endpoint if needed
Additional Parameters - Service-specific settings
Click Save Configuration
The integration status will update to show it's configured

Security Best Practices¶

Keep Credentials Secure

Never share API keys in public channels
Rotate keys regularly for enhanced security
Use environment-specific keys for development and production
Remove unused integrations to minimize security surface

Test Integration Configuration¶

After configuring an integration:

Navigate to the Preview tab
Send a test message that uses the integration
Check the Logs tab to verify the integration is working
Review any error messages if the integration fails

Workflow Configuration¶

Connecting Nodes¶

Click and drag from the output connector of one node
Drop the connector on the input of another node
The connection line shows the data flow
You can add multiple connections to create complex workflows

Collapse/Expand Flow View¶

For complex workflows with many nodes:

Click Collapse Flow View to see a simplified overview
Click Expand Flow View to see all node details
Use the zoom controls to adjust the view

Advanced Configuration¶

Webhook Setup¶

Configure webhooks to trigger your agent from external systems:

Click on the Webhook Setup tab
Copy the webhook URL provided
Configure the webhook in your external service
Set up authentication if required
Test the webhook using the test endpoint

RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation)¶

Configure RAG settings for knowledge-based responses:

Navigate to the RAG tab
Upload knowledge base documents
Configure retrieval settings
Set similarity thresholds
Test with sample queries

Logs and Monitoring¶

Monitor your agent's performance:

Click on the Logs tab
View real-time execution logs
Filter by date, status, or node
Export logs for analysis
Set up alerts for errors or anomalies
