🛠️ Step 2: Set Up Image Analysis in the Flow Builder

You’ll need to create a flow that:

1. Collects an image from the user
2. Analyzes the image using Gemini Vision

Here’s how:

1. Go to your Flow Builder
2. Add a Get User Data step to collect the image from the user – make sure the reply type is set to image.
3. Add a new action:
   Action > Google Gemini > Analyze Image

Configuration Fields:

• User’s Message
  Add a message or prompt to guide the AI on how to interpret the image (e.g., “Describe this product” or “What does this photo contain?” or “Describe how to fix this?”).
• Image
  Select the custom field where the image from the user was stored.
• Output Message
  Choose a custom field to store the analysis result. You can later use this field to show the result to the user.

✅ You can use this in any part of your flow—even with default replies—so the chatbot can intelligently respond to random image uploads.

✅ Success & ❌ Failure Handling

Each Google Gemini image analysis step includes:

• Success Node
  Trigger actions when the image is successfully analyzed (e.g., display insights, continue conversation).
• Failure Node
  Trigger fallback actions if analysis fails (e.g., show an error message or prompt for a different image).
