Help me move with Make!

Hello everyone!
I’m trying to transfer the workflow from Make to n8n, but I don’t understand how to organize such a scheme!
The node in Make can accept instructions from OpenAI, but the node in n8n does not have such capabilities, please tell me how to organize such a process?


Information on your n8n setup

  • n8n version: 1.72.1
  • Database default: SQLite
  • n8n EXECUTIONS_PROCESS setting (default: own, main): main
  • Running n8n via (Docker, npm, n8n cloud, desktop app): docker
  • Operating system: Ubuntu24

It looks like your topic is missing some important information. Could you provide the following if applicable.

  • n8n version:
  • Database (default: SQLite):
  • n8n EXECUTIONS_PROCESS setting (default: own, main):
  • Running n8n via (Docker, npm, n8n cloud, desktop app):

Tip for sharing information

Pasting your n8n workflow


Ensure to copy your n8n workflow and paste it in the code block, that is in between the pairs of triple backticks, which also could be achieved by clicking </> (preformatted text) in the editor and pasting in your workflow.

```
<your workflow>
```

That implies to any JSON output you would like to share with us.

Make sure that you have removed any sensitive information from your workflow and include dummy or pinned data with it!


You can use either dedicate Open AI node or generic AI Agent connecting Open AI model to it if you are tide up to OpenAI specifically.

Yes, I use these nodes, but none of them “pull” Functions from the platform the same way as in Make!


In theory there is manual, but you need to be able to program a lot… (((
It seems that in n8n it is possible to fully implement the AI ​​assistant, but it is impossible to fully use all the capabilities of the Assistant from platform.openai.com?!
Because there is no understanding of how to use functions from platfom in n8n. In fact, on platform.openai.com in the Assistant, I have described the data structure functions for adding/updating fields in Notion.

Hey @SoulOMON , what is it that you need to pull? The n8n dedicated tools or n8n workflows can serve as tools for your AI Agent and pull, push, whatever it is you need. The tools (sub-nodes of the agent) is the same as function calling with regards to AI. See What's a tool in AI? | n8n Docs. You might want to read the whole section in n8n Advanced AI Documentation and Guides | n8n Docs.

Thank you! These are the instructions I follow… :frowning:
But after one unsuccessful processing of the tool, the AI ​​no longer wants to access this tool for debugging and constantly writes:
None of your tools were used in this run. Try giving your tools clearer names and descriptions to help the AI
It seems that it is easier to use all the functions of the AI ​​assistant on the n8n side, rather than trying to interact with the assistant on the side platform.openai.com. :frowning:

That is what I had in mind all along. I didn’t realize that you wanted to do something different. There are tons of videos on Youtube how to use n8n AI capabilities as well a combination of external AI services with n8n as a tool.

That’s the question: there is no specific information on the Internet; information has to be collected bit by bit… (
In Make the logic works without failures, but in n8n it works every time… (

The AI ​​tools module, when using the assistant from platform.openui, writes its code in Functions and does not take Functions from the assistant. There is also a problem, if we use Tools and try to write data from AI, then it does not follow the instructions (transferring data of the required structure), but gives an empty request…

2 weeks of reading instructions and watching YouTube did not change the situation… (

Although the task seems simple. AI, based on the request, must provide data to create records in the table or update rows… (
