Nodaro DocsTeleport Receive
Receive the value that a Teleport Send broadcasts on the same channel, anywhere on the canvas and without a connection line. Switch channels at any time.
The Teleport Receive node receives the value that a Teleport Send broadcasts on the same channel, anywhere on the canvas. No line connects the two nodes: the channel letter and its color show which nodes belong together. Several Receive nodes can listen to one channel, and each of them gets the value. The node is free.
When to use it
- Receive a shared prompt or image from a Send on the other side of a large canvas.
- Give several independent branches the same value without lines that cross.
- Bring a value into a crowded part of the workflow, where one more line would be hard to follow.
Quick start
Add a Teleport Send first
The Teleport Send holds the value. Connect the value to it, and note its channel letter and color.
Add the node
Press Tab on the canvas and choose Automate › Canvas › Teleport Receive. It tunes itself to a Send that has no Receive yet. To use another channel, choose it under Switch Channel in the settings panel.
Connect it and run
Connect the Receive's output to the node that needs the value, and click Run. The Receive passes on the value that the Send broadcasts.
Inputs and outputs
| Input or output | Accepts or sends | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Input | Any value | Optional. Connect it when you want a visible connection as well as the channel. |
| Output | The received value | The value from the Send on the same channel, or the value on the input when one is connected. |
For example, the Receive can bring an Upload Image result to the start frame of Generate Video on the far side of the canvas.
The output carries exactly what is connected to the paired Send: the same type, the same list and the same output.
- Typed inputs accept it like the original. An audio clip sent through the pair connects to audio inputs, and an image connects to image inputs. An input that would refuse a direct connection from the original node refuses the Receive too.
- Connect the Send first. Until the Send has something connected to it, audio, image and video inputs do not accept the Receive.
- Lists fan out as before. A list, or any node that fans out, runs the next node once per item, exactly as a direct connection would. The credit estimate counts those runs.
- The connection keeps its own mode. The connection out of the Receive has its own mode, such as Each or Bundle, and its color follows what it carries.
- Skipping cuts the connection. When you skip a Send or a Receive, the node it feeds is skipped if that was its only input.
Settings
| Setting | What it does |
|---|---|
| Channel | The channel the node listens on, with its color. |
| Switch Channel | Tunes the node to another channel, chosen from the Teleport Send nodes on the canvas. It appears only when at least one Send exists. |
| Channel Name | An optional name for the channel, shared with the Send: editing it here also renames the channel on the Send. |
| Send node | The Send that broadcasts on this channel. Click it to move the view to it. |
On the canvas, the node is a pill outlined in its channel's color. When the value is an image or a video, the pill shows a small thumbnail. Click the arrow, Jump to partner, to move the view to the Send.

Troubleshooting
The Receive passes on an empty value. No Teleport Send broadcasts on its channel. Compare the channel letters of the two nodes, and use Switch Channel to point the Receive at the right Send.
Tips
- Re-point instead of rebuilding. Switch Channel moves an existing Receive to another Send, so you never need to delete and add it again.
- Name what travels. Name the channel after its content, such as "Hero Prompt" or "Reference Image".
- Same run, less clutter. A teleport runs exactly like a visible connection: the same order, the same data and the same fan-out.
Frequently asked questions
How do I pair a Teleport Receive with a Teleport Send?
A new Teleport Receive tunes itself to a Teleport Send that has no Receive yet. To choose another channel, open the settings panel and pick it under Switch Channel.
What does a Teleport Receive send on when no Teleport Send uses its channel?
An empty value. Check that the Receive and the Send show the same channel letter, and use Switch Channel to fix it.
Can several Teleport Receive nodes listen to one channel?
Yes. Every Receive on the channel gets the same value, so one Send can feed several branches.
Can a Teleport Receive feed an audio or image input?
Yes. The Receive passes on exactly what is connected to its Send, with the same type. Connect the Send first, because typed inputs accept the Receive only once the Send has something connected.
Does Teleport Receive cost credits?
No. Teleport Receive is free.
