How do I generate images with Imagen?
Short answer: You can generate image with imagen in Google Gemini by hand from its own interface, but it won’t repeat itself. On TinyCommand, add the Google Gemini Generate Image with Imagen action to a workflow, map its 4 inputs from any upstream app, and it runs automatically every time the trigger fires. No code, and a free tier to start.
Inputs
The fields this action accepts.
Every field can be mapped from an upstream trigger, AI step, table row, or hard-coded literal.

Prompt prompt | string | Required | Prompt (required) |
Num Images number_of_images | string | Optional | Num Images |
Aspect Ratio aspect_ratio | options | Optional | Aspect Ratio. Options: 1:1, 16:9, 9:16 … |
Sample request
{"model": "{{trigger.model}}","prompt": "{{trigger.prompt}}","number_of_images": "{{trigger.number_of_images}}","aspect_ratio": "{{trigger.aspect_ratio}}"}
Returns
{"predictions": [{"mimeType": "image/png","bytesBase64Encoded": "<base64>"}]}
Use these fields in downstream nodes for routing, logging, or error handling.

FAQ
Questions about Generate Image with Imagen.
What does the Generate Image with Imagen action do in Google Gemini?
Generates images via Google's Imagen models. For workflows that need Google-AI-ecosystem image generation rather than going to Flux/Midjourney/DALL-E directly.
What inputs does Generate Image with Imagen require?
Required: Prompt. Every input accepts a static value or a variable from any upstream node in your workflow.
Can I use dynamic inputs from earlier workflow nodes?
Yes. Any field on this action can pull values from upstream nodes, whether that's a form response, a trigger payload, an AI output, or a lookup result.
What happens if Google Gemini returns an error?
The run history shows the failed step with its input and the error message Google Gemini returned, so you can fix the input and run the workflow again. Automatic retries are built into HTTP steps only, where you can also set your own retry count and delay.
Does Generate Image with Imagen support batch operations?
Run Generate Image with Imagen inside a loop to process each item in an array. TinyCommand does not throttle calls for you, so for large arrays add a Delay step if you need to stay within Google Gemini's rate limits.
