I was watching a tutorial by Loqode on how to set up an AI assistant. I created the tables and everything, but when he did the workflows, he used the call API action, which is only on the business plan. is there any way to do an alternative to this step?
Hi there, Hossam, I’m not familiar with the tutorial, however, on Maker plan you can most likely use workflows and webhooks to achieve the same thing.
Let me know if you need any more help with setting these up.
Yes please, that’s would be excellent, just i dont know what to do in the workflow, and make Automtion
Do you need to make an API call to an external AI provider here? Just guessing based on the tutorial title.
If that’s the case, probably you’d need to trigger webhook or Zapier/Make integration, send payload and call API from there.
Although if AI integration is the case, I’d probably stick to Glide native AI or explore Glide AI integrations.
I feel like I might be missing the point though, the video you’re referencing is more than 2h long so you’d need to provide more context on the step you’re struggling with so that anyone can help.
im new to glide so I’m myself dont know, i was just blindly folowing the steps to be completely honest, all i want is an AI assitant that can help student throughout the data i have in table, i created couple of table, user files, messages assitance, files, threads, table…, everything is sort out as i the video, when he moves out to action, i didnt know what to do exactly , since i cant used the call API, since im not on buisne
I think you should be able to get around this by sending whatever data you need through Zapier or Make and then sending an HTTP request from there. This might add a couple more seconds to processing the request though.
You didn’t clarify though what this API call is supposed to do. Is this a request to your pre-configured AI Agent, or is it table mutations in Glide?
in the video he didnt explain it that much, but he just set couple of headers, and he didnt set the body, but he set the response body, to save the threads into the column i created in data, so it will put the response from the API call into the column i created
Do you need your assistant to have access to a knowledge base? I would check if your plan allows Pinecone.
