I’m building a workflow that does the following:
-
Retrieves content from Google Docs
-
Sends it to OpenAI’s “Message a Model” to generate a summary
-
Emails the summarized content
I’m using the free OpenAI API credits available in n8n.
However, when configuring the OpenAI “Message a Model” node, I keep getting this error:
“Bad request – please check your parameters. This endpoint is not supported with n8n AI credits.”
What’s strange is that another OpenAI “Message a Model” node in the same workflow works perfectly. The working node is OpenAI node version 1.8 (Latest version: 2), while the node that fails is OpenAI node version 2 (Latest).
So, does anyone know a fix for this?
Is the free API credit no longer compatible with the newer node version?
