# The Null block

When a flow runs, the **Null** block sends a null value from its output port. Null values can be useful in many cases, including handling API responses with null value fields and clearing [inserted](/flows/reference/blocks/overview/#insert-data-blocks-into-other-blocks) data block values.

## Output

The **Null** block has a single output port that sends a null value.

## Setup

Connect the **Null** block's output port to another block's input port. It will send a null value to that block.

## Example
