Features

| Service | Operations | | ------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Document Intelligence | Analyze documents (invoices, receipts, forms, PDFs); poll async results | | Content Safety | Analyze text and images for hate, violence, self-harm, and sexual content | | Translator | Translate text; detect language | | Language | Sentiment analysis, key phrase extraction, named entity recognition, abstractive summarization | | Azure OpenAI | Chat completions, embeddings (for Azure-only tenants) |

Installation

In your n8n instance, go to Settings > Community Nodes, click Install, and enter:

n8n-nodes-azure-ai

Credentials

Azure AI API Key (required for most services)

Each Azure Cognitive Services resource exposes its own endpoint and API key.

| Field | Example | Description | | ---------------- | ------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------- | | Endpoint URL | https://my-resource.cognitiveservices.azure.com | Base URL from Azure Portal | | API Key | •••••••• | Primary or secondary key |

For the Translator service, also fill in Region (e.g. eastus). The Translator API uses a different base URL (api.cognitive.microsofttranslator.com) and requires Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Region in its headers.

Azure AI OAuth2 (optional)

An OAuth2 credential is provided for organizations using Azure AD managed identities instead of API keys.

Usage

1. Add the Azure AI node to your workflow.
2. Select a Resource (Document Intelligence, Content Safety, Translator, Language, Azure OpenAI).
3. Select an Operation for that resource.
4. Configure the credential and operation-specific parameters.

Document Intelligence — Analyze

The analyze operation submits a file and polls the async result automatically (up to ~45 seconds). It accepts either a URL or a binary file from a previous n8n node.

Output is shaped for downstream use:

{
  "documentType": "invoice",
  "confidence": 0.98,
  "fields": {
    "vendorName": { "value": "Contoso Ltd", "confidence": 0.99 },
    "invoiceTotal": { "value": 1234.56, "confidence": 0.97 }
  },
  "_raw": { "...": "full analyzeResult" }
}

Content Safety — Analyze Text / Analyze Image

Returns a ready-to-use safe boolean plus per-category severity scores:

{
  "safe": true,
  "categories": {
    "hate": { "severity": 0 },
    "violence": { "severity": 0 },
    "selfHarm": { "severity": 0 },
    "sexual": { "severity": 0 }
  }
}

Use the Threshold parameter (0–6) to define what counts as unsafe for your workflow.
