About This Workflow

How To Use
- Prepare your Airtable Base: Ensure your Airtable database has one text field containing image URLs and a separate attachment field ready to receive the images.
- Connect Airtable Credentials: In both Airtable nodes, configure your Airtable credentials and connect to the specific base and table you intend to modify.
- Adjust URL Field Name (Node 2): In the 'Get all records with an image URL' node, update the 'Filter by Formula' to replace 'Image source URL' with the exact name of your Airtable field that holds the image URLs.
- Update Attachment Field Expression (Node 3): In the 'Update attachment field with images' node, modify the expression for the 'Image attachment' column. Ensure the URL part refers to your correct image URL field name, e.g.,
"url": "{{ $json["Your Image URL Field Name"] }}". - Execute Workflow: Once configured, click 'Execute Workflow' to initiate the process and watch your image URLs transform into attachments!
