How do I enter values into Workato's OpenAI Custom Action?

JayMappus — Thu, 30 Jan 2025 00:07:03 GMT

Hi,

I used the "guided setup" but I cannot figure out how to add datapills to the "Request body parameters" it created. Below is how I configured using the Guided Setup:

Setup OpenAI custom action from sample request

Request type = JSON request body

Response type = JSON response

Request body
{ "model": "gpt-4o-mini", "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Say this is a test!"}], "temperature": 0.7 }

Request headers:

Content-Type: application/json

Authentication: XXXX____XXX

Then clicked the "Send request" button and received a 200 - ok of the following Response Body:

{
id: chatcmpl-AvCBobEWR___exCiZYVkfd,
object: chat.completion,
created: 1738194916,
model: gpt-4o-mini-2024-07-18,
choices: 
[

{
index: 0,
message: 
{
role: assistant,
content: This is a test! How can I assist you further?,
refusal: null
},
logprobs: null,
finish_reason: stop
}
],
usage: 
{
prompt_tokens: 13,
completion_tokens: 13,
total_tokens: 26,
prompt_tokens_details: 
{
cached_tokens: 0,
audio_tokens: 0
},
completion_tokens_details: 
{
reasoning_tokens: 0,
audio_tokens: 0,
accepted_prediction_tokens: 0,
rejected_prediction_tokens: 0
}
},
service_tier: default,
system_fingerprint: fp_72___b54c
}

But when I go to add values (either datapills or constants) to the fields, there is no place to put / enter them. The Input / "Request body parameters" have no input fields for the datapills.

I feel that I'm missing something obvious but the support docs and ChatGPT isn't helping.

Thank you

Hi @JayMappus,
Did you try adding the JSON request body manually and see if you are still facing the same issue.

Hi @JayMappus

I tried setting it up manually and was able to create the body and send datapills successfully. Please try the manual setup, as it is working.

I am unable to try the guided setup due to too many requests from OpenAI. Please let me know if it works for you.

Hi @JayMappus,

I’ve outlined the details of my approach along with my inputs below:

1. Guided Setup (See Attached Images):
--> This is a straightforward and user-friendly method to configure the endpoint.
Steps to follow:
- Select Guided Setup:
- Choose the Method (POST)
- Specify the Path(e.g., `chat/completions`)
- Define the Request Type (JSON Request Body)
- Set the Response Type (JSON Response)
- Provide the Request Body(JSON structure)
- Configure the Request Header(Content-Type & Authorization)
--> Once the request is sent:
- A successful response (HTTP 200) confirms proper setup.
- Workato automatically handles the request and response structure during the guided setup process.

2. Manual Setup (See Attached Screenshots):
--> Steps to configure manually:
- Select the Method (POST)
- Specify the Path(`chat/completions`)
- Define the Request Type(JSON Request Body)
- Set the Response Type (JSON Response)
- Manually construct the Request Body based on the API specifications
- Configure the Request Header (Content-Type & Authorization)
--> Once the request is sent:
- A successful response (HTTP 200) confirms proper setup.
- Unlike the guided setup, you need to manually configure the request and response structure using sample data from the API documentations.

Thanks and Regards,

Fantastic solution! Very well documented and worked the first time that I followed your step by step instructions. I'm sorry that it has taken me so long to reply as I was off on another project but then... this one became urgent again. And, I dreaded trying to solve it until I saw your answer waiting for me. What a pleasant surprise. Thank you very much. You made my week. JM
