Quick overview
This workflow collects an image request via an n8n form, uses Anthropic Claude to expand it into a detailed style-aware prompt, generates an image with Google Gemini, then emails the image via Gmail and logs the request details to an n8n Data Table.
How it works
- Receives an image request from an n8n Form Trigger that captures the requester’s email, image description, and preferred style.
- Normalizes the submitted fields into consistent values for email, description, and style.
- Uses Anthropic Claude (Sonnet 4.6) to turn the description and style into a single vivid image-generation prompt.
- Sends the enhanced prompt to Google Gemini to generate an image and outputs it as binary data.
- Emails the generated image as an attachment to the requester via Gmail, including the style and prompt used.
- Logs the description, style, prompt, and timestamp to an n8n Data Table for tracking and reuse.
Setup
- Add an Anthropic credential (for Claude Sonnet 4.6) to the workflow’s prompt-enhancement step.
- Add a Google Gemini (PaLM) API credential and ensure the selected image model is available in your account.
- Add a Gmail OAuth2 credential and confirm the sender mailbox has permission to send emails.
- Create or select an n8n Data Table named
image_gen_log (or update the workflow to your table name).
- Activate the workflow and share the form URL so users can submit image requests.
Requirements
- n8n instance with the Data Table feature enabled
- Anthropic API key (Claude — prompt engineering)
- Google Gemini (PaLM) API key — image generation
- Gmail account connected via OAuth2
Customization
- Add or edit Style presets in the form dropdown to match your brand aesthetic
- Bake brand colours, logo cues, or aspect ratio into the prompt-enhancer system message for on-brand output every time
- Deliver to Google Drive, S3, or a CMS to auto-publish instead of emailing
- Switch Gemini to image edit (upload + modify) or video generate for motion assets / B-roll
- Generate multiple variations per request by looping the generation step
Additional info
Built on the new Google Gemini image node — one of the newest n8n integrations, so competing templates are almost non-existent (clear first-mover advantage).
Claude turns a one-line description into a detailed, style-aware prompt (subject, lighting, composition, palette) for far better output than a raw description.
Fits marketers, content creators, agencies, e-commerce (product/ad visuals), and social teams.
