# Output labels

Output (interface) labels should be clear and consistent so it is easy for users to understand their data and confidently map values between different modules. 

Consider the following when creating output labels:

* Use [sentence case capitalization](https://apastyle.apa.org/style-grammar-guidelines/capitalization/sentence-case). Capitalize only the first word and proper nouns.
* Use plain terms rather than API formats.
* Match terminology exactly. The output label must be identical to the corresponding mappable parameter.
* Follow the same order. The output labels and mappable parameters should be listed in the same order in both locations.

{% hint style="info" %}
Raw values (the actual keys returned by the API) shouldn’t be updated. They must be left as-is so they accurately reflect the external service's API documentation.
{% endhint %}

This example from **Make AI Toolkit > Simple text prompt** follows the standard practices listed above. The [mappable parameter labels](/custom-apps-documentation/best-practices/naming-conventions/input-parameters/parameter-labels.md) match the output labels for consistency and clarity.

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://developers.make.com/custom-apps-documentation/best-practices/naming-conventions/output-labels.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
