🟦 Get URL from Image

The Retrieve Image URL block allows you to extract the textual URL of an "Image Resource" object from Celestory for external use.

This component is particularly useful when you need to pass an image to third-party services (APIs, webhooks, databases) that require a text URL rather than a structured media object.

📥 Entries

image (Image Resource): Media object whose URL you want to extract. Usually comes from a database, user upload or pre-selection.

📤 Outings

url (Text): Full web address (ex: https://storage.googleapis.com/.../image.png) usable in textual operations or API calls.

💡 Example of use

Scenario: Integrating a user image into Airtable

User uploaded a profile picture via a Celestory form.
The image is stored in an “Image Resource” type variable.
You connect this variable to the image input of the block.
The block automatically extracts the text URL from the image.
You use the url (Text) output to populate an “Image URL” field in your Airtable database via an API request.

⚙️ Technical Details

Automatic conversion: The block manages the deserialization of the "Image Resource" object without manual intervention.
Compatibility: Works with all Celestory image sources (internal storage, user uploads, AI generations).
