Describe the problem/error/question I’m struggling with getting a dynamically generated prompt to reach the OpenAI HTTP node. The goal: combine an original text with structured feedback, pass it as a single prompt to gpt-4-1106-preview, and get an optimized version of the text. :white_check_mark: S…

Hi @delsupreme , Why dont you use the OpenAI node directly?! [image] something like this:

Since you are saying Code 7 outputs the correct prompt but fails at HTTP request it could be a referencing issue of the finalPrompt from the previous node. can you verify and revert

Hey, this should be fine, but I’m new to n8n and maybe I did something wrong. Here’s a screenshot of the input, the node and the output (see ‘Content:’ where it says: Unfortunately, you did not provide any specific information or data that I could convert into an optimised JSON text). [Bildschirm…

You dont have a solution for me, right? :confused:

I have now set it up like this and it seems to work :slight_smile: Would you use different settings than I have here? [Bildschirmfoto 2025-04-20 um 01.32.57]

Glad it works, Would you use different settings than I have here? no just the same as attached here If your issue got solved, please mark this reply as the solution :white_check_mark::pray:t2:
