Hey Make Community :waving_hand:

I’m encountering a frustrating issue when using the Google Docs → Replace an Image with a New Image module.

Here’s what’s happening:

  • I generate an image dynamically using the Cloudinary → Transform a Resource module.
  • The transformation works perfectly and outputs a valid URL (e.g., https://res.cloudinary.com/.../wave.png).
  • When I manually copy/paste this URL into the “Replace an Image” module (using Run this module only), everything works fine: the image is replaced correctly in my Google Doc.
  • But when I try to run the entire scenario, I get the following error:

[400] Invalid requests[0].replaceImage: There was a problem retrieving the image. The provided image should be publicly accessible, within size limit, and in supported formats.

I’ve already checked the usual suspects:

  • :white_check_mark: The Cloudinary image is publicly accessible.
  • :white_check_mark: The format is .png, under 2MB.
  • :white_check_mark: The URL is HTTPS and opens in incognito mode.
  • :white_check_mark: No breaks, special characters, or space encoding issues.

Still, I get a “Validation failed for parameter ‘kix.xxxxx’” when running the whole workflow.

If it’s from Google Drive, you have to go to your Google drive settings and make sure the image is publicly accessible. I.e : “Anyone with the link” + Viewer
