Hi there!

I have been working on flows within the new Early Release workflows, I am not using them for production, only to learn workflows well before it is utilised in General Release.

I have suddenly met the issue of an error occuring with node connections after an agent node.
An error will appear saying:

Edge 'edge-agent-07fc75ff-fbc9-4327-b35b-f177f46d3418-output-ifElse-8d7cc7d9-663d-4377-9751-faf95dde16d2-input' references handle 'output' which is no longer on node 'AGENT Email Extraction'. The connection will be dropped on save.

I built a successful flow and saved it, the next day this error appeared and the connection was gone between the nodes.
I tried removing and replacing the nodes but no luck.

Details of the flow:
When a new Email Arrives > Agent > If/Else > Two Agents Etc Etc

When I connect the node the error appears

Hi,

This looks like an Early Release workflow designer issue rather than a problem with your logic.

The error:
• “references handle 'output' which is no longer on node”
usually means the Agent node schema/output changed internally after save/reload.

Based on your screenshots:
• The Agent node loses its output handle after reopening the workflow
• Existing connections become invalid and are removed on save
• Replacing downstream nodes usually does not fix it permanently

Things you can try:
• Delete and recreate the Agent node completely
• Re-add the dynamic content (Body) manually
• Save after each node addition
• Avoid renaming nodes repeatedly
• Create a fresh workflow and rebuild incrementally
• Test with Prompt node instead of Agent node temporarily

Important:
• Early Release workflows are still experimental/pre-GA
• Similar connection persistence issues have been reported by other users
• Agent nodes currently appear less stable than standard connector/prompt nodes
