Hello everybody, I´m new using Make… I was trying to send an Image to the Assistant in order to get some text via OCR through ChatGPT 4o This are the steps: -Trigger once new file is created in specific Drives folder -Download the new file from drive -Upload the file to Open AI -Send the file to the Assistant (Here i got the error) Any advice of how to do it? I tried sending ID, Object… and it didn´t work. ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/make/original/3X/f/e/fe449f9183ae60a157c19bb847f411f0cda74627.png) Thank you in advance! ---

If you don’t have a specific reason to try to use the Assistant API, perhaps use the OpenAI “Analyze Images (Vision)” module, with the “gpt-4o” multi-modal modal. I’ve attached some screenshots + a scenario blueprint. Hope it helps.

@drnic good solution, but I think it may be possible to remove the Match Pattern module to save an operation. What do you think? Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE using the Match Pattern module too! Perhaps one of the string functions can help?

Hello! Finally, i did it in that way. This is how my automation looks like now… ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/make/original/3X/5/2/52a8c296d30d1a2f59c962ab8536bbce283d7431.png) I asked the OpenAi vision module for an array, then i processed it by the JSON module and i was able to continue with the automation Thank you all for your support 😉 ---
