The example follows a text-to-image workflow, Z-Image Turbo. It works the same way with an image or a video as input.

In ComfyUI
Open the app builder
- Build an app opens ComfyUI's app builder.
- The inputs already exposed are listed on the right.
Choose the inputs
- Tick the prompt's text field.
- Tick the settings you want to find in your software, here the seed.
- The list on the right shows your inputs, in the order iNodes will present them.
For an image or a video input, also tick its load node. Inputs and outputs details what's accepted.
Choose the output
- Choose the node that saves the result, here Save Image.
- It shows up on the right. One output node per workflow.
Export the two files
- Export saves the app file.
- Export (API) saves the same workflow in API format.
Keep the two files together: iNodes needs both.
In iNodes
Open the app's Comfy tab and check that your server is connected.
- Custom name: the name of your node in your software.
- App Mode file: drop or choose the file saved by Export.
- API workflow file: the one saved by Export (API).
- Convert: iNodes reads your workflow and prepares the node.
- Connect: the workflow is installed and becomes a node.
Config, in between, is optional: it lets you rename the labels and change a setting's type before you connect.
If your workflow exposes inputs the bridge can't take over, iNodes lists them at conversion. The workflow keeps the values saved in the file for them.
The arrow on the right of the builder opens your installed workflows, sorted by type:
A workflow marked Needs validation or Modified becomes active once validated: click Validate, with an internet connection.
In your software
Your node shows up in the iNodes / ComfyUI group. If your software was open, restart it so it picks the node up. Then use it like any node: prompt, settings, then Generate.
