Questions about Exa Find Similar.
What does the Exa Find Similar action do in Exa?
Pass a reference URL, get back semantically similar pages. Useful for content discovery ("find articles like this one"), competitive intel ("find similar blog posts to our hero piece"), and LLM grounding ("find related sources before answering").
What inputs does Exa Find Similar require?
Required: URL. Every input accepts a static value or a variable from any upstream node in your workflow.
Can I use dynamic inputs from earlier workflow nodes?
Yes. Any field on this action can pull values from upstream nodes, whether that's a form response, a trigger payload, an AI output, or a lookup result.
What happens if Exa returns an error?
The workflow pauses on the failed node, the error message is captured in the run log, and you can retry the run with one click. Auto-retry policies are configurable per workflow with exponential backoff up to 5 attempts.
