About Pinecone: Insert
The Pinecone Insert node in n8n writes vector embeddings into a Pinecone index, which is one of the most widely used managed vector databases for AI applications. Once your text has been chunked, embedded, and inserted into Pinecone, you can perform fast semantic searches across millions of vectors. This node handles the insertion step, making it straightforward to keep your vector index up to date as part of an automated pipeline.
Pinecone is purpose-built for similarity search at scale. Unlike the in-memory vector store, Pinecone persists your data across workflow runs, supports concurrent access from multiple applications, and can handle datasets that would not fit in memory. The Insert node lets you push new embeddings into your index whenever new data arrives — whether that is new documents, updated product descriptions, or fresh support articles.
Teams building production retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems typically use Pinecone as their vector store because it handles the infrastructure complexity. You do not need to manage servers, tune indexes, or worry about scaling. The n8n integration means you can automate the entire pipeline: ingest data, chunk it, embed it, and insert it into Pinecone without writing custom code. Our medical document classification project used a similar approach to index and retrieve clinical documents at scale.
If you are building a vector search system and need help with architecture decisions, our AI agent development and system integration teams can design a pipeline that scales with your data.

How it works
We work hand-in-hand with you to implement Pinecone: Insert
As Pinecone: Insert consultants we work with you hand in hand build more efficient and effective operations. Here’s how we will work with you to automate your business and integrate Pinecone: Insert with integrate and automate 800+ tools.
Step 1
Set up your Pinecone account and index
Create a Pinecone account and provision an index with the correct dimensions for your embedding model. For OpenAI embeddings, you typically need 1536 dimensions. Choose the appropriate metric (cosine similarity is the most common) and select your cloud region.
Step 2
Configure Pinecone credentials in n8n
Add your Pinecone API key and environment to n8n’s credentials manager. This allows the Pinecone Insert node to authenticate with your account and write to your index securely.
Step 3
Prepare your data pipeline
Set up the upstream nodes that will produce the data to be indexed. This typically includes a data source node, a text splitter to chunk documents, and an embedding model to convert text chunks into numerical vectors.
Step 4
Configure the Pinecone Insert node
Add the node to your workflow and select your Pinecone credentials and target index. Map the embedding vectors, document text, and any metadata fields you want to store alongside the vectors for filtering during retrieval.
Step 5
Set up metadata for filtering
Include relevant metadata with each vector — source document name, date, category, or any other attributes you might want to filter on during searches. Good metadata design makes your retrieval queries more precise and reduces irrelevant results.
Step 6
Test and verify the insertion
Run the workflow with sample data and verify vectors appear in your Pinecone index using the Pinecone dashboard or a query test. Check that vector counts match expectations, metadata is correctly attached, and retrieval queries return relevant results.
