Azure OpenAI embedding and vector store

I’m trying to build a Q&A flow in n8n that uses Azure OpenAI Embeddings together with a Weaviate Vector Store retriever. The goal is:

  • Trigger: When a chat message is received

  • Chain: Pass query → Azure OpenAI Embeddings → Weaviate Vector Store → return top-k results

The issue

I keep getting the error:

400 Unsupported data type

This only happens in the Embeddings Azure OpenAI node. The Chat model works fine.

The Weaviate Vector Store node ask for a collection which is “Article”.

In Weaviate, article contains:

  • Named vector: te_3_large

  • Properties: title, lead, body, userNeed, etc.

The question is how do I retrieve the data from this vector database with the right data type?
