• Click on ‘Create Workflow’ button.
• Name your workflow (e.g., ‘AI Agent for Image Generation’).
• Select the folder for your workflow.

In this section, you will set up the trigger to connect Airtable with Pabbly Connect.

3. Setting Up the Trigger with Airtable

To connect your Airtable account with Pabbly Connect, select Airtable as the app in the trigger step. Choose ‘New Record’ as the trigger event. Then, click on ‘Connect’ and select ‘Add New Connection’.

Follow the prompts to connect your Airtable account by granting access to the base you want to use. Make sure to select the correct base and table that contains the image descriptions and details you want to generate.

• Select Airtable as the app in the trigger step.
• Choose ‘New Record’ as the trigger event.
• Grant access to the appropriate Airtable base.

After successfully connecting, Pabbly Connect will capture the necessary details from the new record in Airtable.

4. Sending Data to OpenAI for Image Generation

Now that our trigger is set up, we will use Pabbly Connect to send the captured data to OpenAI. In the action step, select OpenAI and choose the action event as ‘Generate Image’.

Connect your OpenAI account by entering the API key, which you can find in your OpenAI dashboard. After connecting, configure the prompt, image size, quality, and style using the mapped data from Airtable.

Select OpenAI as the app in the action step. Choose ‘Generate Image’ as the action event. Enter the API key to connect OpenAI.

After configuring these settings, click ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to generate the image and retrieve the URL.

5. Updating Airtable with the Generated Image

With the image generated, the final step is to update the Airtable record with the image URL. In the action step, select Airtable again and choose ‘Update Record’ as the action event.

Use the mapping feature to specify which record to update and add the image URL retrieved from OpenAI into the attachments field of the corresponding record.

Select Airtable as the app for the final action. Choose ‘Update Record’ as the action event. Map the image URL to the attachments field.

Once you click ‘Save and Send Test Request’, your Airtable record will be updated with the generated image, confirming that the integration via Pabbly Connect is working flawlessly.
