# Include Inflows

The "inflow" field is utilized to select all the species necessary to construct a chemistry model file. This field is mandatory, and all input species must be included in the public or private databank selected with the thermodynamic framework. To verify if a species exists in a thermodynamic framework and its associated databanks, use the [Species Query](/chemistry-model-files/chembuilder-api/chembuilder-query/species-query.md) method and check if the species are listed in the output array. 

The "inflows" field is an array of JSON objects containing a valid list of species. The order in which species are added is not significant, and specific species can be enabled or disabled as needed using the "enabled" switch. 

Here is an example of the "inflows" field:

```json
"inflows": [
    {
        "name": "H2O"
    },
    { 
        "name": "NACL"
    }, 
    { 
        "name": "BENZENE",
        "enabled": false
    } 
]
```

{% hint style="info" %}
[Assays ](/chemistry-model-files/chembuilder-api/getting-started-with-chembuilder/include-inflows/include-assays.md)and [PseudoComponents ](/chemistry-model-files/chembuilder-api/getting-started-with-chembuilder/include-inflows/include-pseudocomponent.md)are also considered inflow species. For further details, please refer to the respective subpages.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="danger" %}
Only OLI tags are permitted in the inflow. Please refer [Species Query](/chemistry-model-files/chembuilder-api/chembuilder-query/species-query.md)to retrieve the OLI tags for each species. OLI tags should always be written in uppercase.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
"H2O" will always be automatically included as an inflow species by default.
{% endhint %}

# Agent Instructions: 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:

```
GET https://devdocs.olisystems.com/chemistry-model-files/chembuilder-api/getting-started-with-chembuilder/include-inflows.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
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.
