How to connect NocoDB and OpenAI Image Generation
Create a New Scenario to Connect NocoDB and OpenAI Image Generation
In the workspace, click the “Create New Scenario” button.

Add the First Step
Add the first node – a trigger that will initiate the scenario when it receives the required event. Triggers can be scheduled, called by a NocoDB, triggered by another scenario, or executed manually (for testing purposes). In most cases, NocoDB or OpenAI Image Generation will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find NocoDB or OpenAI Image Generation, and select the appropriate trigger to start the scenario.

Add the NocoDB Node
Select the NocoDB node from the app selection panel on the right.

Authenticate OpenAI Image Generation
Now, click the OpenAI Image Generation node and select the connection option. This can be an OAuth2 connection or an API key, which you can obtain in your OpenAI Image Generation settings. Authentication allows you to use OpenAI Image Generation through Latenode.
Configure the NocoDB and OpenAI Image Generation Nodes
Next, configure the nodes by filling in the required parameters according to your logic. Fields marked with a red asterisk (*) are mandatory.
Set Up the NocoDB and OpenAI Image Generation Integration
Use various Latenode nodes to transform data and enhance your integration:
- Branching: Create multiple branches within the scenario to handle complex logic.
- Merging: Combine different node branches into one, passing data through it.
- Plug n Play Nodes: Use nodes that don’t require account credentials.
- Ask AI: Use the GPT-powered option to add AI capabilities to any node.
- Wait: Set waiting times, either for intervals or until specific dates.
- Sub-scenarios (Nodules): Create sub-scenarios that are encapsulated in a single node.
- Iteration: Process arrays of data when needed.
- Code: Write custom code or ask our AI assistant to do it for you.

Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring NocoDB, OpenAI Image Generation, and any additional nodes, don’t forget to save the scenario and click "Deploy." Activating the scenario ensures it will run automatically whenever the trigger node receives input or a condition is met. By default, all newly created scenarios are deactivated.
Test the Scenario
Run the scenario by clicking “Run once” and triggering an event to check if the NocoDB and OpenAI Image Generation integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between NocoDB and OpenAI Image Generation (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.
Most powerful ways to connect NocoDB and OpenAI Image Generation
NocoDB + OpenAI Image Generation + Slack: When a new record is added to NocoDB, an image is generated by OpenAI Image Generation based on data in the record. This generated image, along with the NocoDB record data, is then sent as a message to a specified Slack channel.
OpenAI Image Generation + NocoDB + Airtable: After an image is generated by OpenAI Image Generation, the image and its description are stored in a new row in NocoDB. Subsequently, this new row is synced to Airtable as a new record for project tracking.
