Overview

Connect LocalAI with Flows360

The free, Self-hosted, community-driven and local-first. Drop-in replacement for OpenAI running on consumer-grade hardware. No GPU required.

Use the LocalAI connector to include its declared actions and events in Flows360 workflows without duplicating the integration logic inside each consuming system. This pinned connector version currently exposes 2 actions and no declared triggers.

Available actions

  • Ask LocalAI
  • Custom API Call

Available triggers

  • No triggers are declared in this pinned package.

The capability list above is generated from the exact reviewed connector package so the public description stays aligned with the version Flows360 operates.

Technical guide

Technical reference

Package identity

  • Connector: LocalAI
  • Package: @activepieces/piece-localai@0.2.0
  • Exact artifact digest: sha256:3d6d0cdc0e42fd588dff543116f752261ac456eb3a733507b96fb724adafa3de
  • Runtime: Activepieces-compatible deterministic worker
  • Source: the exact reviewed Activepieces source

Authentication

CUSTOM AUTH. Connection values are tenant-specific and remain in the consuming Studio instance; CDK stores definitions and field metadata, not customer credential values.

Action contracts

  • Ask LocalAI (ask_localai), Ask LocalAI anything you want! Classification: read.
  • Custom API Call (custom_api_call), Make a custom API call to a specific endpoint Classification: read.

Trigger contracts

  • No trigger delivery contracts are declared.

Verification

Deterministic execution evidence is recorded for the pinned artifact, including 1 exercised action entrypoint and 0 exercised trigger entrypoints.

Inputs

  • model · string · Required, The model which will generate the completion. Some models are suitable for natural language tasks, others specialize in code.
  • prompt · string · Required
  • temperature · number · Optional, Controls randomness: Lowering results in less random completions. As the temperature approaches zero, the model will become deterministic and repetitive.
  • maxTokens · number · Optional, The maximum number of tokens to generate. Requests can use up to 2,048 or 4,096 tokens shared between prompt and completion, don't set the value to maximum and leave some tokens for the input. The exact limit varies by model. (One token is roughly 4 characters for normal English text)
  • topP · number · Optional, An alternative to sampling with temperature, called nucleus sampling, where the model considers the results of the tokens with top_p probability mass. So 0.1 means only the tokens comprising the top 10% probability mass are considered.
  • frequencyPenalty · number · Optional, Number between -2.0 and 2.0. Positive values penalize new tokens based on their existing frequency in the text so far, decreasing the model's likelihood to repeat the same line verbatim.
  • presencePenalty · number · Optional, Number between -2.0 and 2.0. Positive values penalize new tokens based on whether they appear in the text so far, increasing the mode's likelihood to talk about new topics.
  • roles · object · Optional, Array of roles to specify more accurate response
Custom API Call · Read

Make a custom API call to a specific endpoint

custom_api_call · Risk: low · Retry: safe

Inputs

  • url · object · Required
  • method · string · Required
  • headers · object · Optional, Authorization headers are injected automatically from your connection.
  • queryParams · object · Optional, Appended to the URL as ?key=value.
  • body_type · string · Optional
  • body · object · Optional
  • response_is_binary · boolean · Optional, Enable for files like PDFs, images, etc.
  • failsafe · boolean · Optional, On a failed request, output the error instead of failing the step.
  • timeout · number · Optional, Seconds to wait for a response. Empty: up to the flow limit (10 min).
  • followRedirects · boolean · Optional, Follow 3xx redirects instead of returning them as the response.

Setup

Setup

  1. Add the LocalAI connector to the workflow in the target Flows360 Studio instance.
  2. Create or select the tenant-specific connection required by the connector. Connection secrets remain in the Studio connection boundary and are not copied into CDK documentation.
  3. Provide the connection fields declared by the pinned package:
  • Server URL (base_url), required.
  • Access Token (access_token), optional; stored as a sensitive connection value.
  1. Select the required action or trigger and complete its declared input fields. Required and optional inputs are defined by the exact package schema.
  2. Test the workflow in the appropriate environment before enabling production scheduling or event delivery.

Limitations

Limitations and operational notes

  • This content describes @activepieces/piece-localai@0.2.0; provider behaviour can change independently and should be revalidated when the provider or connector version changes.
  • Only the 2 actions and 0 triggers declared by this pinned package are represented here.
  • Tenant credentials and connection values are not stored in the public connector record.
  • Provider-side permissions, account entitlements, quotas and rate limits remain subject to the connected provider account and are not inferred when the package does not declare them.
  • Deterministic execution evidence is recorded for the pinned artifact, including 1 exercised action entrypoint and 0 exercised trigger entrypoints.

Troubleshooting

Why canu2019t the connector authenticate?

Check the tenant connection in Studio and confirm every required LocalAI connection field is present. Re-authorise OAuth-based connections if the provider token or consent has expired. Do not place credential values in CDK content or logs.

Why is an action or trigger unavailable?

Confirm that the workflow is using @activepieces/piece-localai@0.2.0 and compare the requested capability with the declared action and trigger list for this version. A capability that is not declared by the pinned package should not be presented as supported.

What should I check after a provider-side change?

Revalidate authentication, required fields, action/trigger behaviour and provider documentation before publishing refreshed connector content or moving a new package version into production.
