OpenRouter Actions & Triggers | Clixio Changelog

/in

We’ve launched the OpenRouter app for Clixio Workflows, allowing users to integrate AI model responses directly into their automations. With OpenRouter, users can now access multiple models such as Perplexity, Claude, OpenAI, Gemini, and many more—over 300 in total.

Clixio workflows can now invoke AI models via OpenRouter to generate real-time responses from custom prompts. Teams can automate content creation, summarisation, and personalised messaging using system-level instructions and workflow variables.

Key Enhancements

Actions (Clixio → OpenRouter)

Use AI-generated outputs directly within your workflows:

  • Generate Response – Send a prompt to a selected OpenRouter AI model and receive a generated response that can be reused across workflow steps.

Action Capabilities

  • System Prompt (Optional) – Define the AI’s role, tone, or behaviour (e.g., support agent, marketer, concise responder).
  • Prompt (Required) – Provide the main instruction, question, or task, including dynamic workflow variables.
  • Model Selection (Required) – Choose from multiple AI models based on quality, speed, creativity, and cost.

Why It Matters

Use cases such as manual content creation can now be integrated into a workflow. With OpenRouter in Workflows, users can:

  • Generate personalised emails, SMS, and WhatsApp messages at scale.
  • Create any image or video content with models like Veo.

We have introduced the OpenRouter action with a test action feature, allowing users to test the action before execution. This enables users to save the schema and use it in subsequent actions as custom values.

AI-Powered Customer Replies

Automatically generate contextual email or SMS responses using contact data and inbound messages.

Message & Form Summarisation

Summarise long-form submissions or inbound conversations into concise notes or CRM fields.

Personalised Follow-Ups

Create tailored follow-up messages using workflow variables such as name, service, or appointment details.

In Workflows, add an action and search for OpenRouter. If not connected, click Connect Now and authenticate using your OpenRouter API key. Select an AI model, configure your System Prompt and Prompt, then test the action. You can use the generated response in messages, custom fields, conditions, or downstream actions.

  • Be specific in your Prompt for higher-quality responses.
  • Use the System Prompt to control tone and intent.
  • Test multiple models to find the best fit.
  • Keep prompts concise and clear.
  • Utilise workflow variables to personalise outputs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use workflow variables in the prompt?
Yes. You can use supported workflow variables in both the Prompt and System Prompt fields to generate personalised AI responses.

What is the difference between System Prompt and Prompt?
The System Prompt defines the AI’s role, tone, or behaviour, while the Prompt contains the main instruction or question sent to the model.

Which AI model should I choose?
Model choice depends on your use case—lighter models work well for simple tasks, while advanced models are better for creative or complex responses.

Can I store the AI-generated response in a custom field?
Yes. The generated response can be mapped to custom fields, used in messages, or passed to other workflow actions.

Yes. OpenRouter actions and triggers are premium workflow actions and are billed at standard automation rates, in addition to OpenRouter usage charges.

Does Clixio include AI credits for OpenRouter?
