How do I call Azure OpenAI for chat completion?

Short answer: You can chat completion in Azure OpenAI by hand from its own interface, but it won’t repeat itself. On TinyCommand, add the Azure OpenAI Chat Completion action to a workflow, map its 4 inputs from any upstream app, and it runs automatically every time the trigger fires. No code, and a free tier to start.

FAQ

Questions about Chat Completion.

What does the Chat Completion action do in Azure OpenAI?

Runs a chat completion against your Azure-deployed GPT models. References the deployment name (your Azure alias) rather than the underlying model name. The OpenAI-compatible request shape means workflows port from OpenAI direct by swapping base URL + model param.

What inputs does Chat Completion require?

Required: User Message. Every input accepts a static value or a variable from any upstream node in your workflow.

Can I use dynamic inputs from earlier workflow nodes?

Yes. Any field on this action can pull values from upstream nodes, whether that's a form response, a trigger payload, an AI output, or a lookup result.

What happens if Azure OpenAI returns an error?

The workflow pauses on the failed node, the error message is captured in the run log, and you can retry the run with one click. Auto-retry policies are configurable per workflow with exponential backoff up to 5 attempts.

Does Chat Completion support batch operations?

Yes. Run Chat Completion inside a Loop node to process arrays. TinyCommand handles Azure OpenAI's rate limits automatically so you don't have to throttle manually.
