Use a code-free step to generate text with your own Azure OpenAI deployment. The step calls the Azure OpenAI Responses API and can use the same built-in tools as OpenAI: web search, file search, and code interpreter.

Before you begin

  • In your Next Matter portal, go to Automations library, click Connect in the Azure OpenAI app tile, and enter your Azure endpoint URL and API key.

Generate text

  1. Click Workflows > + Create new… > Create a new workflow and give your workflow a name. If you have a workflow ready, click … > Edit workflow.
  2. Click + Add step and select Integrations > Azure OpenAI.
  3. Click the step and click Configure integration.
  4. Select Process/generate text with Azure OpenAI Responses API in Azure OpenAI action.
  5. Enter your Deployment name (as it appears in the Azure Portal), then enter the prompt and select the output type.
  6. (Optional) In the Tools field, add Web Search, File Search, or Code Interpreter. These are the same built-in tools as on OpenAI’s Responses API. For what each tool does and the settings you can fill in, see Connect to OpenAI.
  7. (Optional) If needed, you can tweak the request by providing data in the Advanced AI configuration dropdown.
  8. Select the output text as a variable you can refer to later on.
  9. Save your changes.
