I’m trying to convert image URLs from a Fillout form into actual images and then use them with OpenAI “GPT Image 1” along with a prompt to generate a new output.
I’ve already tried using image URLs, but ChatGPT can’t read image URLs directly.
Now I’m wondering if anyone knows a solution for this.
Welcome to the Make community!
From your screenshot/output bundle, it appears that you have an ARRAY of items. What do you do when you have an array?
You need to Iterate the array so that you can upload each image in the array.
When you SEE an array in your module’s output, think of using an Iterator module.
In this example, responses is an array of items (collections). You’ll want to map this array in an Iterator module.
Question: Have you tried mapping your array variable into an Iterator module, ran the scenario, and view the output?
Next,
Every result (item/record) from trigger/iterator/list/search/match modules will output a bundle. This can result in multiple bundles, which then trigger multiple operations in future modules (one operation per bundle). To “combine” multiple bundles into a single variable, you’ll need to use an aggregator of some sort.
Aggregators are modules that accumulate multiple bundles into one single bundle. An example of a commonly-used aggregator module is the Array aggregator module. The next popular aggregator is the Text Aggregator which is very flexible and can apply to many use-cases like building of JSON, CSV, HTML.
You can find out more about the other types of aggregator modules here:
Question: Which is the best aggregator do you think you’ll need for your use-case?
If you have an array of collections, in programming terms, this is called an array of objects, or an array with non-primitive data types (“complex”).
The Array Aggregator module is very powerful because it allows you to build a new complex array of collections that matches a later module’s field to map multiple items (collections) to it. Such fields initially would allow you to manually add items, but you can toggle the “Map” switch to the “on” state and map a whole array into a single field.
This is done by selecting the “Target structure type” in an Array Aggregator module.
As you can see from the above example, the “Map” toggle on complex fields are used when you have an array variable (like from an array aggregator). Other combinations of modules may also allow you to generate an array that matches a future field’s array structure, like “Aggregate to JSON + Parse JSON”, or “Create JSON + Parse JSON”, but this is an advanced topic.
Question: Are you mapping your array into a field that accepts more than one item/collection?
Here is an example of how your scenario could look like:
This is just an example. Your final solution may or may not look like this depending on your requirements and actual data.
For more information, see “Mapping with arrays” in the Help Centre. You should also do the Make Academy, which also covers the use of Iterators & Aggregators.
Also, it looks like “Generate an Image” module doesn’t accept images yet. I’m sure others would agree that this is a nice feature to have.
You can submit this suggestion to the Idea exchange, under Platform Ideas and Improvements
Don’t forget to search for it first, just in case someone already suggested it, so that you don’t end up creating a duplicate.
Hope this helps! Let me know if there are any further questions or issues.

Then perhaps the “Generate an image” module does not have a field that can accept images. Please request for this feature in the improvement centre.
