Generate & Upload Images with Image-to-Image GPT, Google Sheets & Drive

🖼️ Image-to-Image AI Generator from Google Sheets with Google Drive Upload ✅ Use Case

Automatically generate AI images from prompts listed in a Google Sheet, upload the images to Google Drive, and log the result back into the sheet.

Uses the image-to-image-gpt API for fast, customizable generation.

💡 Problem It Solves

Manual image generation workflows are inefficient and error-prone. Creative and content teams often have to: Manually paste prompts into image generation tools Save images locally Upload to Google Drive Paste the link back into tracking spreadsheets

This automation removes all that friction—turning one spreadsheet into a complete image creation pipeline.

🌟 Benefits

🧩 Workflow Overview

| Node | Description | |------|-------------| | 1. Manual Trigger | Starts the workflow when executed manually | | 2. Google Sheets2 | Reads all rows from the input Google Sheet | | 3. Loop Over Items | Processes one row (prompt) at a time | | 4. If2 | Filters only rows where Prompt is not empty and drive path is empty | | 5. HTTP Request1 | Calls the image-to-image-gpt API with the prompt | | 6. If1 (Error Handling) | If an error exists in the API response, route to logging | | 7. Google Sheets4 (Error Log) | Appends error details to a log sheet for review | | 8. Code1 | Decodes the base64 image returned by the API | | 9. Google Drive1 | Uploads the image to a selected Google Drive folder | | 10. Google Sheets1 (Write Back) | Updates the original row with the image drive path and timestamp | | 11. Wait | Delays the next prompt to prevent hitting API rate limits |
