I’m having trouble with the N8N and Qdrant integration. I tried to follow the first workflow example from their docs, but I’m getting an error. It says:
Problem in node 'Qdrant Vector Store'
400 Bad Request: Wrong input: Not existing vector name error:
I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong. I made a collection in Qdrant, but maybe I didn’t set it up right for N8N? The docs don’t really explain how to do that.
Here’s what I’ve tried:
Created a collection in Qdrant dashboard
Set up the workflow in N8N as shown in the docs
Used the GitHub Document Loader, Embeddings OpenAI, and Qdrant Vector Store nodes
But it’s still not working. Does anyone know what I might be missing? Or if there’s a step-by-step guide somewhere? I’ve looked online but can’t find much help.
I’ve faced similar issues when integrating N8N with Qdrant. The error suggests that the vector name specified in your N8N workflow does not match the one configured in your Qdrant collection. I recommend checking your Qdrant settings to ensure that the vector name is correctly defined and that the value in the Qdrant Vector Store node exactly matches this name.
Additionally, verify your connection credentials in N8N. If the problem continues, consider recreating the Qdrant collection with explicit vector configuration since the documentation can be unclear on some details.
hey there! i’ve struggled with this too. make sure ur vector name in N8N matches exactly whats in Qdrant. Double check ur collection setup - sometimes the auto-creation doesnt work right. Also, try inserting a test vector directly in Qdrant to see if thats the issue. good luck!
As someone who’s worked extensively with N8N and Qdrant, I can say this integration can be tricky. The error you’re seeing often crops up when there’s a mismatch between your N8N configuration and Qdrant setup. Here’s what worked for me:
First, double-check your Qdrant collection settings. Make sure you’ve explicitly defined the vector name and dimensions when creating the collection. Don’t rely on auto-creation.
In N8N, ensure the ‘Vector Name’ field in the Qdrant Vector Store node matches exactly what you set in Qdrant. Case sensitivity matters here.
Also, verify your connection details are correct. I once spent hours troubleshooting only to realize I had a typo in my API key.
If you’re still stuck, try using the Qdrant UI or API directly to insert a test vector. This can help isolate whether the issue is with N8N or your Qdrant setup.
Lastly, the N8N community forum has been a goldmine for me when official docs fall short. You might find more specific help there if these steps don’t resolve your issue.
