What it does

Part of the AI character reel system. Use it to make or redo the portrait for a single character. An Airtable button on a character profile calls the webhook, and the workflow creates a new character image record marked as in progress.

It looks for any image already approved for that character and sets those to Not Approved, so only one stays live. It then sends the character's image prompt to the image model in your AI models table, checks the job every 10 seconds, and saves the finished picture to the new record as Approved. The profile's image status moves to AI Complete and the cost is logged to your AI usage table.
