Mistral AI Actions in Workflows
The Mistral AI actions let a workflow send prompts, text, or images to Mistral models and use the result in later steps such as Send SMS, Send Email, Internal Notification, field updates, webhooks, or If/Else conditions.
Mistral AI gives you actions only, with no triggers. Start your workflow with any standard trigger, such as Customer Replied, Form Submitted, or Inbound Webhook, and then add a Mistral AI action. The integration is in beta, so models and fields may change.
Connect your Mistral account
You need a Mistral account. Connect it in either place:
- In a workflow: add a Mistral AI action and click Connect Now.
- In settings: go to Settings > Integrations > Mistral AI > Connect.
Requests run on your connected Mistral workspace, and Mistral sets its own rate limits for it.
Available actions
| Action | What it does | Good for | | --- | --- | --- | | Create Chat Completion | Generates text with a Mistral language model. | Replies, summaries, rewriting, classification, and pulling out details. | | Create Embeddings | Turns text into a vector with
mistral-embed. | Semantic search, matching, grouping, and lookups. | | Analyze Image (Vision) | Reads an image with a vision model. | Receipts, IDs, screenshots, documents, and business cards. |Set up Create Chat Completion
- Give the action a clear Action Name so it's easy to find in the workflow and logs.
- Add a System Prompt that sets the role, tone, and rules for the answer.
- Write the Prompt, and insert contact or trigger data where you need it.
- Choose a Model.
- Adjust the tuning settings if you want to control the style or length of the answer.
Use the output
Each action returns its result as data you can insert in later steps. For example, you can send a generated reply by SMS, save a summary to a custom field, or branch with If/Else based on a classification.
Tips
- Ask for short, structured answers when a later step needs to read them.
- Test with a real contact before publishing.
- Check the execution log to see the exact input and output of each run.
