How to Connect Gyazo as Data Search

Integration with Gyazo is implemented as a separate Search block that can be placed between the Data Source and the Data Receiver. This will allow you to receive data fields from the Data Source, make a query to Gyazo to search for images based on specified values, and transfer the found image to the Data Receiver fields. Thus, through search, you can automatically find images in Gyazo and transfer the found images to the services and systems you use.

The function allows you to search IMAGES for Gyazo and update data

Setting Data SOURCE: Google Sheets

Let's look at how the Search function works using the example of updating Rows in Google Sheets.

First, you need to create a new connection.

Select a system as the Data Source. In this case, you must specify Google Sheets.

Next, you need to specify the action "Get ROWS (all)".

The next step is to select a Google Sheets account from which the data will be uploaded.

If there are no accounts connected to the system, click "Connect account".

Select which account you want to connect to ApiX-Drive and provide all permissions to work with this account.

When the connected account is displayed in the "active accounts" list, select it.

Attention! If your account is in the "inactive accounts" list, check your access to this account!

Select the Google Sheets table and sheet where the data you need is located.

At this step, you can add a data filter to load not all rows, but only those for which you want to perform data updates. In this case, we will not use a data filter, so click "Continue".

You can now see test data for one of the rows in your Google Sheets table.

If you want to update your test data, click "Load test data from Google Sheets."

If you want to change the settings, click "Edit" and you will go back a step.

Now we connect an additional Data Search block. To do this, click on the "+" and select "Add data SEARCH" from the list.

As the system in which the search will be performed, select "Gyazo ".

Next, select the action “Search IMAGES”.

The next step is choosing a Gyazo  account.

If there are no accounts connected to the ApiX-Drive system, click “Connect account”.

Enter your login details to your Gyazo account.

Then enter the verification code sent to your email address. After successful verification, click the Authorize button to grant access to your account.

When the connected account appears in the "active accounts" list, select it.

Next, fill in the required fields. Specify the search parameters: the key value to search for, and the number of images in the range from 1 to 100. If this field is left blank, the default value of 20 will be used.

Now you see test data from the result of one of the images. You can pass this data to your reception table.

If test data does not appear automatically, click “Search in Gyazo.”

If you are not satisfied with something, click “Edit”, go back a step and change the search field settings.

This completes the Data Search setup!

Now we can start setting up Google Sheets as a Data Reception system.

To do this, click "Add Data DESTINATION".

Setup Data Destination system: Google Sheets

Select the system as Data Destination. In this case, you must specify Google Sheets.

Next, you need to specify the action "Update ROW".

The next step is to select the Google Sheets account to which the Gyazo image will be transferred. If it is the same account, then we select it.

If you need to connect another login to the system, click “Connect account” and repeat the same steps described when connecting Google Sheets as a Data Source.

Now you need to select File(Table) and Sheet, in which the image found in Gyazo will be updated.

In the "Search Column" field, you need to select the column by which the data will be searched. That is, where to search for data in the table.

Next, in the "What to search for" field, you need to select a variable from the drop-down list, or manually enter the data by which the system will search for data to update the row you need. In our case, we select column "A", which contains the image description. The system will update the data in the required row only if the search value matches.

You also need to specify the Search Type, in case several rows with the same value are found:

"First found row" - searching and updating data will occur in the first found row that satisfies the search conditions.
"Last found row" - searching and updating data will occur in the last found row that satisfies the search conditions.
"All found rows" - search and update of data will be performed on all found rows that satisfy the search conditions.  

Also specify the option how to Overwrite data:

- Overwrite old data - new data will be written over the old ones.
- Append to old data - new data from the Data Source will be appended to the old data.

Now you need to assign the found image variable to the empty column, which we take from the Data Search block. In the future, the image will be updated in this column.

After setting, click "Continue".

Thus, the Data Search block takes the field in the Data Source where you have the data for searching for an image, queries Gyazo for the image data, and if there is a match, transfers the found image to the Data Receiver field, for example, to column "F".

This completes the Data Destination system setup!

Now you can start choosing the update interval and enabling auto-update.

To do this, click "Enable update".        

On the main screen, click on the gear icon to select the required update interval or set up scheduled launch. To start the connection by time, select scheduled start and specify the desired time for the connection update to be triggered, or add several options at once when you need the connection to be triggered.

Attention! In order for the scheduled run to work at the specified time, the interval between the current time and the specified time must be more than 5 minutes. For example, you select the time 12:10 and the current time is 12:08 - in this case, the automatic update of the connection will occur at 12:10 the next day. If you select the time 12:20 and the current time is 12:13 - the auto-update of the connection will work today and then every day at 12:20.

To make the current connection transmit data only after another connection, check the box "Update connection only after start other connection" and specify the connection after which the current connection will be started.    

To enable auto-update, switch the slider to the position as shown in the picture.

To force the connection, click on the arrow icon.

That's it, setting up image search in Gyazo is complete! It's pretty simple!

Now don't worry, ApiX-Drive will do everything on its own!
