Generating Midjourney images using Make.com

The speaker, gizm from imagineapi.dev, introduces a project to integrate the Imagine API with make.com for creating image generations without coding. The process begins with setting up a form using Typeform to collect user prompts and emails. The introductory page of the form, titled 'Freaky Friday,' explains that the form will generate the opposite image of what the user asks.

The speaker details the process of creating a trigger in Make.com that activates when a new response is submitted to the Typeform. They go through the steps of connecting to Typeform, specifying the form name 'Freaky Friday,' and setting up the trigger to watch only completed responses. The speaker also renames the form items to 'prompt' and 'email' for clarity.

The speaker describes the next step of sending the collected data to the Imagine API using a POST request. They navigate through Make.com's interface to find the appropriate module for an HTTP request with API key authentication. The URL for the demo server is provided, and the speaker explains the process of adding headers for authentication using a Bearer token.

The speaker tests the API request by inputting a prompt, such as 'yellow cat,' and observing the response. They encounter a 404 error, indicating that the request was not successful. The speaker then checks the request content and input/output status, realizing the need to correct the URL path for the POST request.

After realizing an issue with the authentication headers, the speaker corrects the header value from 'token' to 'Bearer token' and retests the API request with a new prompt, 'blue cat.' The corrected authentication leads to a successful response, and the speaker notes the importance of checking the history for successful API calls.

The speaker aims to create a mechanism to repeatedly check the status of the image generation using a delay and a repeat function. They explore Make.com's tools to find a suitable module for this purpose, eventually deciding on using a 'sleep' function combined with a repeater module to check the image status at intervals.

Once the image generation is confirmed to be complete, the speaker sets up an email module to send the image to the user's email address provided in the Typeform. They detail the process of inserting the image URL into an HTML email template and configuring the email module to use the upscaled image URL.

The speaker discusses the need for conditional routing based on the image generation status. They explore Make.com's flow control tools to set up a filter that routes the process differently depending on whether the image status is 'completed.' The speaker also mentions the fallback route for unsuccessful attempts.

The speaker refines the repeater module settings, adjusting the interval between checks to 60 seconds and attaching an error handler to manage failed requests. They also discuss the use of directives like 'rollback' and the importance of handling incomplete executions in the scenario.

The speaker acknowledges the need for a more efficient timing mechanism instead of waiting for 60 seconds between checks. They attempt to adjust the sleep duration and explore the possibility of setting up a timer to check the image status more frequently.

The speaker demonstrates the final step of the process by running the entire workflow, which includes waiting for the image to be generated and then sending an email with the image to the user. They express a desire for improvements, such as automatic running without manual 'run once' intervention and better error handling.

In conclusion, the speaker summarizes the workflow and invites viewers to get a demo account to try out the Imagine API for generating images. They provide an email address for interested users to contact and thank the viewers for watching the tutorial.
