How do I upload to ImageKit?
Short answer: You can upload to imagekit in ImageKit by hand from its own interface, but it won’t repeat itself. On TinyCommand, add the ImageKit Upload to ImageKit 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.

What happens if ImageKit returns an error?
The run history shows the failed step with its input and the error message ImageKit 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 Upload to ImageKit support batch operations?
Run Upload to ImageKit 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 ImageKit's rate limits.
