Activepieces Integration
Connect Activepieces to LLM API for AI-powered capabilities
Activepieces is an open-source workflow automation platform with a user-friendly interface. It supports AI pieces (modules) for integrating language models into automation flows.
Activepieces' AI pieces support custom OpenAI-compatible endpoints.
Prerequisites
- An LLM API account with an API key
- Activepieces installed or accessible
Setup
Get Your LLM API Key
- Log in to your LLM API dashboard
- Click Create Key to Start
- Copy your new API key immediately — it will only be shown once
- Store the key securely (e.g., in a password manager or
.envfile)
LLM API is an OpenAI-compatible gateway that gives you access to dozens of AI models through a single API key and endpoint.
Configure LLM API in Activepieces
- Open Activepieces and navigate to your flow.
- Add an AI piece (e.g., "Ask AI" or "OpenAI").
- Click "New Connection" for the AI piece.
- Enter:
- API Key: paste the key you copied from app.llmapi.ai/api-keys
- Base URL: https://api.llmapi.ai/v1
- Select the model and configure the prompt.
- Save and run the flow.
Test the Integration
Verify that Activepieces can successfully communicate with LLM API by sending a test request. All requests will now be routed through LLM API.
Activepieces is open-source and self-hostable, giving you full control over your automation and AI pipeline.
Benefits of Using LLM API with Activepieces
- Multi-Provider Access: Use models from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and more through a single API
- Cost Control: Track and limit your AI spending with detailed usage analytics
- Unified Billing: One account for all providers instead of managing multiple API keys
- Caching: Reduce costs with response caching for repeated requests
