Workflow node naming

Name ComfyUI nodes so HandyComfy can identify inputs, models, LoRAs, and outputs accurately.

HandyComfy analyzes an imported workflow and maps selected ComfyUI nodes to mobile controls. Giving those nodes recognized titles makes that mapping more accurate, especially when the workflow uses custom nodes.

The naming convention is recommended rather than required. You can import a workflow without it, and you can correct node roles manually in HandyComfy.

Name the node Title in ComfyUI

Set the user-editable Title of the ComfyUI node. HandyComfy uses that title for naming-convention matching.

The current version requires an exact match, including:

  • capitalization
  • spelling
  • underscores
  • the Input_, Model_, or Output_ prefix
  • two-digit reference-image numbers

For example, use:

Input_Width

Do not assume that variants such as input_width or Input_width are equivalent.

Input node titles

Use these confirmed titles for workflow inputs:

Node Title Role in HandyComfy
Input_PositivePrompt Positive prompt
Input_Width Output width
Input_Height Output height
Input_Seed Seed
Input_Duration Duration
Input_Audio Audio input
Input_Ref_01 First reference image
Input_Ref_02 Second reference image

Number reference images with two digits

Reference-image titles use a two-digit suffix. The number distinguishes the nodes and determines their order:

Input_Ref_01
Input_Ref_02
Input_Ref_03

In the current version, forms such as Input_Ref_1 and Input_Ref_2 are not recognized by this convention.

Model node titles

Use these confirmed titles for model-related nodes:

Node Title Role in HandyComfy
Model_DiffusionModel Diffusion model
Model_TextEncoder Text encoder
Model_LoRA LoRA
Model_VAE_Video Video VAE
Model_VAE_Audio Audio VAE

Some compound workflows use more than one diffusion-model node. HandyComfy does not currently define separate naming-convention roles for those model nodes. Do not invent numbered Diffusion Model titles to distinguish them.

Output node titles

The confirmed output title is:

Node Title Role in HandyComfy
Output_Image Image output

Only names explicitly listed in this guide are confirmed. A title that follows the same general pattern is not automatically supported.

Groups do not affect parsing

You may group nodes in ComfyUI to make the graph easier to read. Group names such as Input_Nodes, Model_Nodes, and Output_Nodes are visual organization only.

HandyComfy does not use those group names when assigning roles.

If a title is missing or not recognized

HandyComfy attempts to infer roles from the workflow structure and node characteristics when titles do not match the convention.

This automatic mapping may be inaccurate, particularly when custom nodes replace standard input nodes or expose their values differently.

After importing, open the workflow’s app-function mapping and review the assigned roles. You can manually assign or correct a role before saving.

Review the detected app-function mappings and correct roles that were not assigned accurately.

For the most reliable result:

  1. Open the workflow in the browser-based ComfyUI frontend.
  2. Set the exact Title of each node HandyComfy should identify.
  3. Use two-digit suffixes for reference-image inputs.
  4. Export the workflow in API format.
  5. Import the JSON file into HandyComfy.
  6. Review compatibility warnings and the workflow graph.
  7. Correct any remaining app-function mappings manually.

This process is especially helpful for workflows that contain custom nodes. It does not guarantee that every custom node is compatible, but it gives HandyComfy the clearest available role information.
