How to connect Pinecone and OpenAI Responses
Create a New Scenario to Connect Pinecone and OpenAI Responses
In the workspace, click the “Create New Scenario” button.

Add the First Step
Add the first node – a trigger that will initiate the scenario when it receives the required event. Triggers can be scheduled, called by a Pinecone, triggered by another scenario, or executed manually (for testing purposes). In most cases, Pinecone or OpenAI Responses will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find Pinecone or OpenAI Responses, and select the appropriate trigger to start the scenario.

Add the Pinecone Node
Select the Pinecone node from the app selection panel on the right.

Pinecone
Configure the Pinecone
Click on the Pinecone node to configure it. You can modify the Pinecone URL and choose between DEV and PROD versions. You can also copy it for use in further automations.
Add the OpenAI Responses Node
Next, click the plus (+) icon on the Pinecone node, select OpenAI Responses from the list of available apps, and choose the action you need from the list of nodes within OpenAI Responses.

Authenticate OpenAI Responses
Now, click the OpenAI Responses node and select the connection option. This can be an OAuth2 connection or an API key, which you can obtain in your OpenAI Responses settings. Authentication allows you to use OpenAI Responses through Latenode.
Configure the Pinecone and OpenAI Responses Nodes
Next, configure the nodes by filling in the required parameters according to your logic. Fields marked with a red asterisk (*) are mandatory.
Set Up the Pinecone and OpenAI Responses Integration
Use various Latenode nodes to transform data and enhance your integration:
- Branching: Create multiple branches within the scenario to handle complex logic.
- Merging: Combine different node branches into one, passing data through it.
- Plug n Play Nodes: Use nodes that don’t require account credentials.
- Ask AI: Use the GPT-powered option to add AI capabilities to any node.
- Wait: Set waiting times, either for intervals or until specific dates.
- Sub-scenarios (Nodules): Create sub-scenarios that are encapsulated in a single node.
- Iteration: Process arrays of data when needed.
- Code: Write custom code or ask our AI assistant to do it for you.

Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Pinecone, OpenAI Responses, and any additional nodes, don’t forget to save the scenario and click "Deploy." Activating the scenario ensures it will run automatically whenever the trigger node receives input or a condition is met. By default, all newly created scenarios are deactivated.
Test the Scenario
Run the scenario by clicking “Run once” and triggering an event to check if the Pinecone and OpenAI Responses integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Pinecone and OpenAI Responses (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.
Most powerful ways to connect Pinecone and OpenAI Responses
OpenAI Responses + Pinecone + Slack: When OpenAI sends a response, the text and its vector embedding are stored in Pinecone. A summary of the question and answer is then posted to a designated Slack channel.
OpenAI Responses + Pinecone + Google Sheets: This automation captures OpenAI responses. It then searches Pinecone using the response, and logs both the OpenAI answer and the results of the Pinecone vector search in a Google Sheet for later analysis.
