When to use this node #
Create a text embedding as a JSON string.
Add OpenAI Create Embedding to a workflow branch using the node picker. Configure its fields in the inspector, then connect the next step.
Before you begin #
Connect OpenAI in App Connections first. Select the intended account in this node; an account connected to a different service is not interchangeable. Available actions depend on the permissions granted to that connection.
Configure the fields #
| Field | What to enter |
|---|---|
| OpenAI Account | Select the OpenAI connection to use for this node. |
| Model | Embedding model. Choices: text-embedding-3-small, text-embedding-3-large.Example/default shown in the editor: text-embedding-3-small. |
| Input Text | Text to embed. |
| Dimensions | Optional positive integer up to 1536 (small) or 3072 (large). |
Use the result #
Choose the output from the variable picker in a later step. Output names below identify the values supplied by this node; the picker inserts the correct reference for your node instance.
| Output | Meaning / label |

Connect the next step #
This definition exposes these paths:
- Success — branch 1.
- Error — branch 2.
Connect each relevant outcome, especially any error or timeout path. Outputs can differ by outcome; check that a result exists before using it.
Test it in a workflow #
- Configure this node with a small, recognizable test input or a test resource.
- Check the variables from preceding steps and the connection selected in the inspector.
- Save the workflow. For event-driven flows, generate the actual event; use Run only for a Manual workflow.
- Open Workflow Activity and check the outcome before enabling wider use.
AI processing can use your connected provider account and incur charges. Choose an available model in the current selector and test with a small input. Handle provider errors and unavailable results explicitly.
If something goes wrong #
- Reconnect the account if authorization has expired, then verify its permissions on the specific resource.
- Check empty variables, selected resource IDs, and any fields that appeared after resource selection.
- Check the failed step in Workflow Activity before retrying. If the action may already have completed, inspect the destination first to avoid duplicates.
- Follow the troubleshooting guide for a symptom-by-symptom checklist.
