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 run history shows the failed step with its input and the error message Azure OpenAI returned, so you can fix the input and run the workflow again. Automatic retries are built into HTTP steps only, where you can also set your own retry count and delay.

Does Chat Completion support batch operations?

Run Chat Completion inside a loop to process each item in an array. TinyCommand does not throttle calls for you, so for large arrays add a Delay step if you need to stay within Azure OpenAI's rate limits.

Create Embedding

Generates embeddings using a deployed embedding model (text-embedding-3-large, text-embedding-3-small, etc.). Dimensions match the OpenAI direct equivalents. For vector workflows on Azure-resident data, this avoids the OpenAI-direct data-flow path.
