  • Authentication: Google Service Account.
  • File Name: The image file name is dynamically set from the previous node.

5. Log Details to Google Sheets

• Type: n8n-nodes-base.googleSheets
• Description: This node logs the Prompt, Generated Image, and Generation Date into a Google Sheets document for tracking and auditing purposes.
  • Columns Mapped:
    • Prompt: The user’s input text.
    • Image: The name of the generated image file.
    • Generated Date: Date and time of image generation.

Flow Summary

1. User Submits Form: Triggered when the form with the prompt and image URL is submitted.
2. Image Generation: The data is sent to the Sora GPT Image API from RapidAPI to generate the image.
3. Image Processing: The generated image (base64 format) is decoded and saved as a file.
4. Google Drive Upload: The image is uploaded to Google Drive for storage.
5. Google Sheets Logging: All relevant details (Prompt, Image, Date) are saved in Google Sheets.
