Glide OpenAI Image Generation Fails (“Could not save generated image”)

Description

  • The Glide OpenAI → Generate Image workflow step consistently fails with the error: “Could not save generated image.”
  • This feature previously worked without any configuration changes on my side.
  • The failure occurs 100% of the time across all prompts and workflows tested.
  • OpenAI API requests appear to complete successfully (visible usage in the OpenAI dashboard).
  • The image is generated by OpenAI but Glide does not save it to the target column.
  • The target column is a Basic Image column that successfully stores manually uploaded images.
  • Reconnecting the integration and regenerating the API key did not resolve the issue.
  • The behavior persists across multiple tables, workflows, and prompts (static and dynamic).
  • The issue appears to occur during Glide’s image storage/save process rather than during image generation.
  • This blocks all automation workflows that depend on generated images..

How to replicate

  • Ensure the table contains a Basic Image column.
  • Create a new workflow.
  • Add step → OpenAI → Generate Image.
  • Enter any prompt (static text or dynamic value).
  • Set the output destination to the Basic Image column.
  • Trigger the workflow.
  • Result: The step fails with “Could not save generated image.”.

Please help identify the cause and provide a fix or workaround so generated images are stored correctly again.
