[Make.com](https://www.make.com/) (formerly known as Integromat) is a versatile automation platform that helps simplify and orchestrate your workflows. It serves as a central hub that connects hundreds of apps, making complex automation feel intuitive and accessible—even for non-technical users.

With an ever-growing library of [integrations](https://www.make.com/en/integrations)—including Google Workspace, Mailchimp, Shopify, Facebook, Etsy, Tally, and many more—Make.com allows you to seamlessly link tools you already use. Among these is **RenderForm**, which you can use to generate dynamic, personalized images automatically as part of your workflow.

Whether you're running marketing campaigns or sending personalized emails, **automated image generation** can save you time, boost consistency, and add a professional touch to your communication.

## Automating Images with Make.com

Make allows you to build custom workflows by chaining together multiple apps and services. In just three simple steps, you can set up a process to automatically create personalized images:

1. Define a trigger event (e.g. a submitted form),
2. Design an image template in RenderForm,
3. Set up your Make scenario to generate the image and deliver it.

Let’s walk through a practical example to show how it works.

### Step 1: Define the Trigger – Tally Form

First, you need to choose an **event that will trigger the automation**. This could be anything: a new user sign-up, a new entry in your Airtable base, a submitted Google Form, or in this case—a filled-out form in **Tally**.

![Create trigger event with Tally](/blog/make-trigger-action-l.jpeg)

For this example, I built a simple Tally form that collects all the data needed to create a hotel offer for a client: hotel name, travel dates, price, availability, and so on.

![Tally form](/blog/make-tally-form.jpeg)

Once the form is submitted, the automation kicks in and sends the client a personalized email—including a dynamically generated image built from the submitted data.

### Step 2: Create an Image Template in RenderForm

Next, design your image template using the [RenderForm editor](https://renderform.io). Each editable field (like hotel name, price, or availability) becomes a **template component** that can be dynamically updated via automation.

![Create image template in RenderForm](/blog/make-renderform-template-l.jpeg)

In this case, I created template components such as `title`, `price`, and `availability`, all of which will be filled in automatically using data from the Tally form. For example, the "Price" field submitted in the form will replace the `price` component in the RenderForm template.

### Step 3: Configure Image Generation in Make.com

Now it’s time to tie it all together. Add the **RenderForm module** to your Make scenario.

Start by searching for **RenderForm** in Make’s app library and add it to your scenario. To connect your account, you’ll need your API key, which can be found in your [RenderForm account settings](https://renderform.io/console/api-keys/).

![Add RenderForm event in Make](/blog/make-renderform-apikey.jpeg)

With the module connected, configure the image generation step:

- **Select Template** – Choose the image template you created earlier.
- **Changes Section** – Map form inputs (from Tally) to the appropriate components in your RenderForm template.

Each template component (like `title` or `price`) must be assigned a corresponding value from the form submission.

![Set up RenderForm image generation](/blog/make-renderform-setup-l.jpeg)

For example, if your template has a component named `price`, you would link it to the `Price` field from your Tally form submission. This ensures that each form entry results in a fully customized image.

### Step 4: Run the Automation

Once everything is configured, it’s time to run your automation.

**Each time someone submits the Tally form**, Make.com will send the data to RenderForm, which generates an image using your predefined template. The image can then be sent automatically via email or used in any number of follow-up actions.

![Image generated automatically](/blog/make-renderform-image.jpg)

You can download the generated image, save it to the cloud, or attach it directly to your email—all as part of your automated scenario.

**Imagine generating hundreds of images, all from a simple form!**

## Use Cases for Automated Image Generation

Automated image generation is especially useful for teams and creators who need to generate many consistent visual assets quickly. Here are some practical examples:

- **Marketing campaigns** – Create dynamic visuals personalized for each recipient.
- **Email personalization** – Automatically generate unique images for email campaigns. [Learn how it works with Mailchimp](/blog/posts/personalized-emails-mailchimp/).
- **Dynamic blog covers** – Use templates to create visually coherent post covers. You can even [generate images from a spreadsheet](/blog/posts/how-to-create-many-images-from-spreadsheet/).
- **Image hosting** – Automatically store and serve your generated images.

Whether you're a solo entrepreneur or part of a larger marketing team, automating image generation saves time, reduces manual work, and improves consistency across your brand visuals.

Integromat is a platform for creating connections between different applications in no-code style, where achieving
a business goal is the top priority. Integromat offers a free plan, so it makes it a great option for testing its capabilities.
[Integromat application library](https://www.integromat.com/en/integrations/) is growing every day, you will find there all popular application like Google Drive apps, Facebook Ads, Shopify, Telegram, Instagram, e-mail connectors, and more, much, much more!

Let's create a simple scenario! We will create an Integromat flow where we will watch on new customers in Shopify, then we will generate a personalized image using the customer name and e-mail them with our auto-generated, personalized image.

Whole scenario looks like this, we created 4 modules:

- Shopify - watch new customers
- RenderForm - generate an image with customer name
- HTTP - download the image
- E-mail - send the e-mail

![Shopify: Send email to a new customer](/docs/integromat/example-scenario-personalized-customer-image-with-shopify.png)

In RenderForm, I created a simple image with 4 components. The most important one is the text component with 'Hey Joanna!' greeting. It has 'greeting' ID, which we will use in the following steps.

![RenderForm: example image template](/docs/integromat/example-thanks-for-order.png)

Next, in RenderForm Integromat module I configured a new connection using API Key. The API key can be found in your RenderForm account in your [account section](/console/api-keys/).
I selected my template and added Changes to replace 'Hey Joanna' text with a greeting with customer name.

![Integromat: image generation module](/docs/integromat/bannerly-module-configuration.png)

The HTTP module will download the generated image with customer name. This step is required by the e-mail module.

![Integromat: download image from URL](/docs/integromat/integromat-http-module-get-a-file.png)

I configured e-mail module with my e-mail mailbox, you can put there an e-mail subject line and e-mail message. In the last field, I added an attachment with the image which I downloaded in the previous step.

![Integromat: add image attachment](/docs/integromat/e-mail-add-attachment.png)

We are done! Now, every time you get a new customer in your Shopify store, they will receive a personalized e-mail message. This will definitely make your store much more unique than others. You can use RenderForm to create much more sophisticated marketing campaigns. For example, you could generate a QR code with promo link or create a template with most popular items in your shop and send it to your customers. Possibilities are unlimited!

Image Generation with Integromat


**Image generation** is the process of creating visuals using automated tools, often based on a predefined template. Instead of designing graphics manually every time, image generation lets you reuse layouts and update only the dynamic parts like text, colors, or images.

Design software like Photoshop or Canva is great for one-off projects. But when it comes to creating hundreds of consistent, branded images, **automation** becomes essential. Tools like **RenderForm** make it easy to design once and generate unlimited variations using data from APIs or no-code platforms like Zapier, Make, or Google Sheets.

> RenderForm is built for speed, control, and consistency. Unlike AI art tools that rely on prompt engineering and randomness, it generates exact results based on your template. It's ideal for marketing, personalization, or bulk content creation.

## 1. Build a template with the editor

Start with the [RenderForm Template Editor](/docs/general/template-editor/). It works like a simple design tool: drag in text, image placeholders, or shapes, and arrange them however you like.

![Online Editor for Image Generation](/blog/simple-online-design-editor.jpeg)

### Set image fit

For image placeholders, choose how the image should behave inside the container. Click on any image and use the panel on the right to adjust the "Image Fit" option:

- `Cover` fills the entire space, cropping the edges if needed.
- `Contain` keeps the full image visible, even if it doesn't fill the entire space. Best for logos or product photos.

![Image fit options](/blog/image-fit-options.jpeg)

### Resize text areas

Text auto-scales to fit its container, but large or dynamic content might need extra space. Set the **width** and **height** manually to avoid clipping and keep everything legible.

Additionally, you can adjust the **dynamic font size limits** to ensure text remains readable across different lengths. This is especially useful for names, titles, or descriptions that vary in size.

![Text font size settings](/blog/text-font-size-settings.jpeg)

### Align text precisely

In the side panel, scroll to the Alignment section to define how text should wrap or stretch. This is useful for things like dynamic names, titles, or product descriptions that vary in length.

![Text alignment](/blog/text-component-alignment.jpeg)

## 2. Connect data to generate images

Once the layout is ready, it's time to connect it with data. You can use [RenderForm's REST API](/image-generation-api/) directly, or connect to platforms like:

- [Zapier](https://zapier.com/mcp/renderform) - Trigger image generation from forms, CRMs, or other tools
- [Make (Integromat)](https://www.make.com/en/integrations/bannerly) - Link multiple services and schedule image creation
- [Google Sheets](/blog/posts/how-to-create-many-images-from-spreadsheet) - Use spreadsheet rows as input for bulk image creation
- [Airtable](https://airtable.com/marketplace/blkKg8IYzQuTV6ZH3/render-form) - Generate images from Airtable records
- [Custom scripts](/docs/api/get-started) - Send image generation requests using your own backend

![Layout plus Data equals your image](/blog/image-generation-api.jpg)

The key is simple: update specific components in your template using a property format like this:

```
yourComponentId.property=value
```

Example:

```
headline.text=Summer Sale Ends Tonight!
```

This tells RenderForm exactly what to change inside the template. You can change text, image sources, colors, and more. See the full list of properties in the [template properties guide](/docs/general/template-properties/).

![Example of generated image from Image Generation API](/blog/example-of-generated-image-from-image-generation-api.jpg)

RenderForm processes the data and generates your final image instantly, ready to be used anywhere.

## Common use cases

Image generation isn't just about saving time, it unlocks new ways to deliver content with precision and consistency. Here are a few practical examples:

- **E-commerce**: Generate product images with live pricing, stock levels, or promo tags
- **Marketing**: Create personalized banners for ads, email, or landing pages
- **Social Media**: Automate quote cards, announcements, or seasonal visuals
- **Hiring**: Share branded job posts or team intro graphics for new hires
- **Events**: Generate speaker cards, schedules, or reminder graphics from spreadsheets or databases

Every visual stays on-brand, with no manual editing required.

## Why use RenderForm?

Key benefits:

- ✅ Predictable, design-safe results
