- The API Version: This is crucial for ensuring compatibility with your n8n nodes. Make sure you’re using the right version for your setup.
To get this information, you’ll need to navigate through the Azure portal. Don’t worry, it’s not as daunting as it sounds. Once you’ve got your resource deployed, use the deployment name as the model name for your Azure OpenAI nodes. It’s that simple!
