📲 Display or Use the Analysis

You can use the result ({{vision_analysis}}) in:

  • A Text Block to show the interpretation to the user
  • A Condition Block to trigger actions based on analysis content
  • A Tag or CRM Field Update to store outcomes for future reference

💡 Advanced Use Case: Analyze Any Image Anytime

Claude Vision can analyze unsolicited or unexpected images sent by users—even outside structured flows. This works well when:

  • A user sends an image in a default reply scenario
  • Claude is set as your fallback AI to respond naturally
  • You want automatic image analysis without direct user prompts

To enable this:

  • Ensure Claude is connected and “Automate Responses” is ON
  • Configure your default reply flow to route image inputs to the Claude Vision action
