* To execute ChatGPT (OpenAI) actions, you need to subscribe to OpenAI's paid API plan. (Payment must be possible when the API is used) https://openai.com/ja-JP/api/pricing/ ChatGPT's API usage is provided by OpenAI for a fee, and it is a pay-as-you-go system based on tokens during API communication. Therefore, if you are not in a situation where you can make a payment when using the API, an error will occur, so please be careful.
App Trigger Settings
First, click on the initial setting "When a row is added". On the first page, check the account information that has already been linked in advance.
No changes are needed for other items, so click "Next" as is.
On the next page, set the range for Google Sheets. <span class="mark-yellow">Make sure to set a column with unique values as "Column with Unique Values".</span>If values are duplicated within the column, it may not work correctly.
Once all items are entered, click "Test" to check for errors. If the test is successful, the specified Google Sheets items will be reflected as output.
The above output (Google Sheets items) will be used as prompts for image generation, so <span class="mark-yellow">make sure to create items that cover the necessary information.</span>
If there are no issues up to this point, click "Save" to complete the trigger settings.
OpenAI Settings
Next, click on "Generate Image from Text". On the first page, just like with Google Sheets, only confirm the account information and select "Next".
On the next page, set the details for generating the image. The prompt is an instruction manual for image generation, so try to create it while effectively reflecting the output used in the previous step.
Change the number of images, image size, and format to the necessary settings. Once you have set everything, click "Test" to check.
In this setup, 5 images are instructed to be generated, so 5 image URLs will appear in the output.
If there are no errors, click "Save" to complete the OpenAI settings.
Google Sheets Update Settings
Finally, click on "Update Record". On the first page, enter the Google Sheets information to update the record below the account information.

I want to bring the convenience of Yoom, which can be linked to apps without programming knowledge, to many people!
Conventional RPA can only automate simple repetitive tasks, and the setup process was very complicated. With “hyperautomation,” which combines various technologies such as AI, API, RPA, and OCR, it is possible to automate many tasks that could not be realized until now more easily than before.
Most tools simply connect one app to another, leaving the complex tasks to you. Yoom goes much further: From document creation and browser automation to OCR and generative AI, Yoom handles it all seamlessly in one platform.
Why settle for basic integrations? Streamline your entire workflow with Yoom’s powerful hyperautomation.
