OpenAI Connection
Connecting to OpenAI in Profitbase Flow allows you to access powerful language and image models via the OpenAI API. You can use this connection to automate prompts, generate text, analyze content, or embed intelligent AI-powered actions into your workflows.
🔧 Creating a New Connection
To create a connection to OpenAI:
- Open a Flow action that requires an OpenAI connection.
- Enable Create new connection.
- Fill out the required connection fields.
Connection properties
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Name | A custom label for the connection. This name will be shown in dropdowns when selecting the connection in actions. |
| API Key | Your personal or organizational OpenAI API key. This key authorizes requests from Flow to OpenAI's endpoints. |
Important:
- API keys can be created and managed in the OpenAI dashboard.
- Keep your key private – it grants access to your OpenAI usage quota and billing.

Testing and Usage
After setting up the connection:
- Use it in any Flow action that supports OpenAI prompts (e.g., text completion, chat, embeddings).
- The key must have access to the models you plan to use (e.g., GPT-4, GPT-3.5-turbo, DALL·E).
- If your connection fails, verify the key and ensure your OpenAI organization allows API usage.
