Once connected, you can choose from the list of supported actions or make custom API calls via the HTTP Request node, for example: you can then configure the OpenAI node according to your specific needs, such as selecting the model and setting parameters for prompts. Make sure to test the node to ensure it's functioning as expected within your workflow. Finally, save your changes and activate the workflow to start using the integration.

n8n’s pricing model is designed to be both affordable and scalable, which is particularly beneficial when integrating with OpenAI. Unlike other platforms that charge per operation or task, n8n charges only for full workflow executions. This means you can create complex workflows with OpenAI, involving thousands of tasks or steps, without worrying about escalating costs. For example, if your OpenAI workflows perform around 100k tasks, you could be paying $500+/month on other platforms, but with n8n's pro plan, you start at around $50. This approach allows you to scale your OpenAI integrations efficiently while maintaining predictable costs.
