OpenAI

Not supported on indie.money. This node's parameters are incompatible with the original n8n OpenAI node, causing workflows exported from n8n to break on the platform.

n8n docsOpenAI documentation

Why unsupported

The platform implementation diverges from the standard n8n OpenAI node in ways that silently break imported workflows:

  • Parameter names differ: modelId vs model, simplify vs simplifyOutput, messages.values vs prompt
  • Message structure differs: multi-message array vs single prompt + system message
  • Output format differs: choice object vs {text: content}
  • Missing features: tool/function calling, reasoning effort, multi-turn conversations

Workflows exported from n8n will not produce correct results on the platform.

Alternatives

  • OpenRouter Chat Model (lmChatOpenRouter) — LLM chat via OpenRouter, supports all OpenRouter-compatible models including OpenAI
  • HTTP Request node — call the OpenAI API directly via Secure Vault

Status

This node is not available on indie.money due to parameter incompatibility with the standard n8n node.
