Transform Images to Lego Style with n8n and DALL·E Automation

What This Workflow Does

This workflow automatically changes images sent via LINE chat into isometric Lego-style pictures.

It receives the image, sends it to OpenAI’s DALL·E 3 for conversion, and then sends the Lego picture back to the user without manual effort.

This saves time and lets social media managers share fun, consistent Lego art fast.

Tools and Services Used

• LINE Messaging API: Receives and sends messages in LINE.
• n8n: Automates process with nodes and workflows.
• OpenAI API (DALL·E 3): Creates Lego-style images from prompts and original photos.

Inputs, Processing Steps, and Output

Inputs

• Images sent by users via a LINE chat.
• API Keys for LINE and OpenAI in n8n credentials.

Processing Steps

• The Webhook node catches image messages from LINE.
• The HTTP Request node downloads the original image data using the message ID and LINE API.
• The OpenAI Text Completion node makes a detailed prompt to tell DALL·E 3 how to translate the image into Lego style.
• The OpenAI Image Generation node uses this prompt to create a new Lego-style image.
• The final HTTP Request node sends the Lego image back to the user on LINE.

Output

The user gets a fresh Lego-style image delivered automatically in LINE chat.
