What you can automate

What can the Imgur Make integration do for you?

The Imgur Make integration links your Imgur account to Make, a no-code tool where you build a scenario: an automation made of modules that runs on a schedule or when another app calls Make. Each module is one brick, here one Imgur action such as uploading an image or replying to a comment.

Publish images without opening Imgur. A picture lands in your storage tool, Upload a Image sends it to your account, then Update an Image gives it the title and description taken from the source record. Useful for a blog or a support team that shares screenshots.

Keep albums in step with your projects. A new project in your CRM calls Create an Album; later, Update an Album follows a rename and Get Album Images lists what the album holds, ready to feed a website gallery.

Watch the conversation around your posts. Get a User's Replies collects the replies you receive, Reply to a Comment answers from the scenario and Report a Comment hands abuse to Imgur's staff.

Imgur has no trigger in Make: nothing starts a scenario from Imgur itself. The first module comes from another app or from Make's own schedule. When the listed modules miss an endpoint, Make an API Call reaches the Imgur API with the same connection. The same app often exists as an n8n node too; the n8n vs Make comparison sets out the criteria. To learn the editor from scratch, see our Make training, and keep Make troubleshooting close for failed runs.

Connect

How do you connect Imgur to Make?

  1. 01

    Register an application on Imgur

    In your Imgur account settings, open the application registration section and add a new application. Paste https://www.integromat.com/oauth/cb/imgur-com as callback URI, fill the required fields and submit. Imgur then shows a Client ID and a Client secret.

  2. 02

    Add an Imgur module and click Create a connection

    In your scenario, add any Imgur module and click Create a connection. A connection is your Imgur account linked to Make once, then reused by every Imgur module. The Connection name field is optional; a clear name helps when you manage several accounts.

  3. 03

    Enter your credentials and authorize

    Paste the Client ID and Client secret copied from Imgur, then follow the on-screen instructions to authorize Make. Once saved, the module shows the connection and its fields open up, ready to fill.

First scenario

Your first scenario: send images to Imgur and label them

GoalWhen a new image appears in another app, Make uploads it to Imgur and writes its title and description.

  1. 01

    Create the scenario

    From the Scenarios page, create a new scenario and click the +. Pick the app where your images arrive and its trigger: Imgur has none, so the scenario starts elsewhere.

  2. 02

    Add Upload a Image

    Click the + on the right of the first module, search Imgur, choose Upload a Image and create your connection. Map the file or its URL from the previous module.

  3. 03

    Add Update an Image

    Add Update an Image after the upload. Map the image identifier returned by the upload, then fill the title and the description with data from the first module.

  4. 04

    Test with Run once

    Click Run once. Make runs the scenario one time and shows the bundles each module received: a bundle is one item passing from module to module, here one image. Check it on Imgur.

  5. 05

    Schedule and switch it on

    Open the clock on the first module to set the schedule, every 15 minutes by default, and switch the scenario on. Each module run on one bundle counts as one operation on your plan.

Modules

Every Imgur module in Make

Imgur gives you 41 modules. For each one: what it does for you, when to reach for it, and what to watch out for.

Imgur1

Create a Comment

Action

In Make“Comments on an image or album.”

Posts a comment under one of your images or albums, so the context behind a picture shows up without anyone typing it on Imgur.

When to use it
a product photo goes live and the release note written in your project tool should appear right under it.
Watch out
the module needs the ID of the image or album; map it from the module that created it instead of typing it.
Imgur2

Create an Album

Action

In Make“Create an album.”

Gives you a new album in your Imgur account, one home for the images that a project or an event will produce.

When to use it
a new client is signed in your CRM and their visuals deserve their own album from day one.
Watch out
each run creates one more album, so make sure the step before it only lets new records through.
Imgur3

Delete a comment

Action

In Make“Deletes a comment by its ID.”

Removes a comment from its ID and cleans a thread up without logging in to Imgur.

When to use it
your moderation form flags a comment that your account posted by mistake, and it should disappear as soon as the form is sent.
Watch out
a deleted comment does not come back; try the scenario with Run once on a test comment first.
Imgur4

Delete an Album

Action

In Make“Deletes an album by its id.”

Erases a whole album from its ID, which keeps your account free of albums tied to finished work.

When to use it
a project is archived in your management tool and its Imgur album has no reason to stay online.
Watch out
there is no undo; read the album with Get an Album before this step if you want to be sure the ID is the right one.
Imgur5

Delete an Image

Action

In Make“Delete an image given it's imageHash.”

Deletes one image from its hash, the identifier Imgur gives each picture, so outdated visuals stop circulating.

When to use it
an item leaves your online catalog and its product shot hosted on Imgur should leave with it.
Watch out
the deletion is final; map the hash stored when the image was uploaded rather than typing one by hand.
Imgur6

Get a Account Gallery Profile

Action

In Make“Retrieve the account gallery profile information.”

Returns the gallery profile of an Imgur account, the public side of a user, so a scenario can learn who you are dealing with.

When to use it
a creator applies to your partner program and their Imgur profile should be added to the application record.
Watch out
for plain account details instead of the gallery side, Get an Account Base is the closer fit.
Imgur7

Get a Comment

Action

In Make“Retrieve a comment from it's ID.”

Reads a single comment from its ID and hands its content to the next module, where you can store it or pass it on.

When to use it
a comment ID reaches your help desk ticket and the agent needs the full text next to it.
Watch out
without the exact ID there is nothing to read; this module fetches, it does not search.
Imgur8

Get a Comment Replies

Action

In Make“Retrieve the list of replies linked to a comment.”

Collects the replies attached to one comment, so a whole exchange can leave Imgur and land where your team reads it.

When to use it
a question under your post gets answers and you want them copied into a shared sheet for follow-up.
Watch out
the result can hold several replies at once; plan how the next step deals with each of them.
Imgur9

Get a Feed

Action

In Make“Retrieve Imgur's feed.”

Brings back Imgur's feed inside the scenario, a quick way to put what Imgur shows you into another tool.

When to use it
your social team wants a digest of the feed posted in its channel whenever they request one through a form.
Watch out
this is a feed, not a search; to target one topic, Get a Tag Info or Get a Gallery Tags fit better.
Imgur10

Get a gallery album

Action

In Make“Retrieve a galleryAlbum information.”

Fetches the information of an album shared in Imgur's public gallery, including albums that belong to other people.

When to use it
someone drops a gallery link in your team chat and the scenario turns it into a clean card in your moodboard database.
Watch out
an album of your own account is read with Get an Album, not with this one.
Imgur11

Get a gallery comment

Action

In Make“Retrieve a gallery comment information given it's galleryHash & commentId.”

Returns one comment posted on a public gallery item, so a remark worth keeping can be saved outside Imgur.

When to use it
a community manager spots useful feedback under a gallery post and logs it in the product backlog.
Watch out
Make asks for two identifiers here, the gallery hash of the post and the comment ID; map both from earlier modules.
Imgur12

Get a Gallery Tags

Action

In Make“Retrieves gallery tags and top posts.”

Lists the gallery tags together with their top posts, a snapshot of the themes the Imgur gallery groups content under.

When to use it
before a content brief, the scenario drops the tags and their top posts into a document the writers open.
Watch out
this is the broad view; for details on one tag you already know, use Get a Tag Info.
Imgur13

Get a Gallery Votes

Action

In Make“Retrieve a gallery votes information.”

Reads the votes recorded on a gallery post, which tells you how the public reacted to it.

When to use it
a post you published is marked as done in your planning tool and its votes should land in the campaign report.
Watch out
this module only reads votes; it never casts one, so voting stays a separate module and a separate decision.
Imgur14

Get a Item tags

Action

In Make“Returns a list of tags that are assigned to a public gallery post.”

Returns the tags assigned to one public gallery post, handy for sorting what you collect by theme.

When to use it
you save inspiring gallery posts in a database and want each row labeled with the post's own tags.
Watch out
it works on public gallery posts only; an image kept private in your account has no gallery tags to return.
Imgur15

Get Album Images

Action

In Make“Retrieves all images of an album.”

Pulls every image of an album in one step, the fastest way to reuse a set of pictures somewhere else.

When to use it
an event album is complete and its photos should feed the gallery page of your website.
Watch out
several images come back together; decide whether the next module handles them one by one, since each run on a bundle counts as an operation.
Imgur16

Get an Account Album Count

Action

In Make“Retrieves an account's total amount of albums”

Tells you how many albums an account holds, a single number ready for a dashboard or a check.

When to use it
your reporting sheet tracks the content volume of each brand account and needs the album total next to it.
Watch out
you get the count, not the albums themselves; to open one, switch to Get an Album.
Imgur17

Get an Account Base

Action

In Make“Retrieve a user basic information.”

Retrieves the basic information of an Imgur user, enough to know who stands behind a username.

When to use it
a username appears in a support request and your agent wants the account details attached before answering.
Watch out
it stays at the basics; the gallery side of the same person comes from Get a Account Gallery Profile.
Imgur18

Get an Account Block Status

Action

In Make“Retrieves the status of an account.”

Checks the block status of an account, so a scenario knows where things stand before interacting with that user.

When to use it
ahead of an automatic reply, the scenario looks up the author and skips anyone your account has blocked.
Watch out
this module reads the status and changes nothing; blocking itself stays a manual action on Imgur.
Imgur19

Get an Account Setting

Action

In Make“Retrieves account settings.”

Returns the settings of the connected account, so you can see from Make how that account is configured.

When to use it
a teammate takes over the brand account and wants its current settings logged in the handover document.
Watch out
it only covers the account behind the connection; checking another user goes through Get an Account Base.
Imgur20

Get an Album

Action

In Make“Retrieve an album based on it's "albumHash" (ID).”

Opens one album from its hash and returns its details, the starting point for anything you want to do with it.

When to use it
a newsletter draft needs the album of the latest event, found from the hash saved when it was created.
Watch out
keep the hash returned by Create an Album somewhere, because this module cannot find an album by its name.
Imgur21

Get an Album Image

Action

In Make“Retrieve a specific image from an album”

Picks one precise image inside an album instead of loading the whole set, which keeps the scenario light.

When to use it
a product page only needs the cover picture of the album that holds its photos.
Watch out
you point to both the album and the image; for the entire album, Get Album Images is the right module.
Imgur22

Get an Image

Action

In Make“Retrieve an image base on it's "imageHash" (ID).”

Looks up one image from its hash and returns its details, so later modules can reuse them.

When to use it
a support ticket mentions an image hash and your scenario adds the image details to the ticket automatically.
Watch out
the hash is the image ID; if you only have the album, go through Get an Album Image instead.
Imgur23

Get a Subreddit Image

Action

In Make“Retrieves a subreddit image.”

Fetches an image from a subreddit gallery on Imgur, useful to people who follow a community through its pictures.

When to use it
a moderator team keeps a review board and wants a flagged subreddit image added to it with its details.
Watch out
this module targets subreddit images; a picture from your own account is read with Get an Image.
Imgur24

Get a Tag Info

Action

In Make“Retrieves a tag info from its name.”

Returns the information of one tag from its name, a quick check before building content around it.

When to use it
a writer proposes a tag in your editorial planner and the scenario attaches what Imgur knows about it.
Watch out
the tag name has to match; a typo returns nothing useful, so map it from a form or a list rather than typing it.
Imgur25

Get a User Avatar

Action

In Make“Retrieves the active avatar of a user.”

Returns the avatar a user currently displays, ready to show next to their name in your own tools.

When to use it
your partner directory lists Imgur creators and each card should carry their current picture.
Watch out
only the active avatar comes back; the full list of avatars available on an account is Get a User's Avatars.
Imgur26

Get a User Comment

Action

In Make“Retrieve a user's comment details.”

Brings back the details of a comment written by a given user, when your scenario starts from that person.

When to use it
a moderation case opens on a username and the reviewer needs the comment in question in the case file.
Watch out
starting from a bare comment ID, Get a Comment is simpler and gives you the same content.
Imgur27

Get a User Comments Count

Action

In Make“Retrieves the total amount of comments a user has posted.”

Counts every comment a user has posted, one figure that tells you how active that person is on Imgur.

When to use it
you shortlist community members for an ambassador program and rank them by their comment total.
Watch out
the module returns a total and no comment text; pair it with Get a User Comment when you need content.
Imgur28

Get a User Image

Action

In Make“Retrieve a user's image information.”

Returns the information of an image posted by a given user, handy when you track a creator's work.

When to use it
a creator sends a submission link through your form and the scenario files the image details in your review sheet.
Watch out
it reads one image at a time; the number of images a user posted comes from Get a User's Image Count.
Imgur29

Get a User's Avatars

Action

In Make“Retrieves a list of available avatars on the account.”

Lists the avatars available on the account, so you see the whole choice rather than the one in use.

When to use it
during a brand refresh, the design team wants every avatar option collected in its asset tracker.
Watch out
the list is informative; to know which avatar is displayed right now, use Get a User Avatar.
Imgur30

Get a User's Image Count

Action

In Make“Retrieves the total amount of images posted by the user.”

Gives the total number of images a user has posted, a simple measure of output.

When to use it
a contributor asks for their stats through your intake form and the answer should come back without manual lookup.
Watch out
you receive a number only; the images themselves need Get a User Image or an album module.
Imgur31

Get a User's Replies

Action

In Make“Retrieve the notification replies of a user.”

Retrieves the reply notifications of a user, the answers that people left under their comments.

When to use it
replies to your brand account should reach the shared inbox of your community team instead of staying on Imgur.
Watch out
this module reads the replies; answering one of them is the job of Reply to a Comment.
Imgur32

Get the User Block

Action

In Make“Retrieve your account block details.”

Returns the block details of your own account, the list side of what you have blocked on Imgur.

When to use it
your moderation review needs an export of the accounts you blocked, attached to the review document.
Watch out
it covers the connected account only; to check one specific user, Get an Account Block Status answers directly.
Imgur33

Make an API Call

Action

In Make“Performs an arbitrary authorized API call.”

Calls any endpoint of the Imgur API from your scenario, with the connection you already set up, when no listed module covers the need.

When to use it
your process relies on an Imgur feature that none of the ready-made modules exposes.
Watch out
here you write the request yourself, so keep the Imgur API documentation open while you fill the module.
Imgur34

Reply to a Comment

Action

In Make“Replies to a creation.”

Answers an existing comment from the scenario, so questions under your posts do not wait for someone to log in.

When to use it
a reply arrives through Get a User's Replies and your team validates the answer in a form before it goes out.
Watch out
the reply is attached to the comment whose ID you map; check it with Run once before switching the scenario on.
Imgur35

Report a Comment

Action

In Make“Reports a comment to Imgur's Staff.”

Sends a comment to Imgur's staff for review, which moves abuse handling out of your inbox.

When to use it
a moderator confirms in your moderation sheet that a comment breaks the rules and the report should follow at once.
Watch out
reporting is not deleting; the comment stays in place while Imgur's staff reviews it, and removing a comment is the job of Delete a comment.
Imgur36

Update a Image Favorite

Action

In Make“Adds or removes an image from favorites.”

Adds an image to your favorites or takes it out, a bookmark managed from the scenario.

When to use it
your team shares visual references in a chat channel and the ones marked as keepers should end up in the account favorites.
Watch out
the same module handles both directions, so know which one you expect before running it on an image already saved.
Imgur37

Update an Album

Action

In Make“Updates an album.”

Changes an existing album, so it follows what happens to the project it belongs to.

When to use it
a client renames their campaign in your CRM and the matching Imgur album should carry the new name.
Watch out
map the album hash saved at creation; updating the wrong album is easy when several share a similar name.
Imgur38

Update an Album Favorite

Action

In Make“Adds or removes album from favorites.”

Puts a whole album in your favorites or removes it, the album version of the image bookmark.

When to use it
albums that your team approves as references in your project board should be starred on the account.
Watch out
adding and removing live in one module; for a single picture rather than an album, use Update a Image Favorite.
Imgur39

Update an Image

Action

In Make“Update an image title and/or description.”

Rewrites the title, the description or both on an image already online, without uploading it again.

When to use it
a product name changes in your catalog and every Imgur picture of it should show the new wording.
Watch out
only the title and the description move; the picture itself stays, so a new version means Upload a Image.
Imgur40

Upload a Image

Action

In Make“Uploads an image into your account. (file, url, base64, raw).”

Sends a picture to your Imgur account from a file, a URL or encoded data, and returns the hosted image for the next modules.

When to use it
a screenshot saved by your support team should get a shareable Imgur link as soon as it is stored.
Watch out
on the Make Free plan, files are capped at 5 MB, so check the weight of large pictures before you switch the scenario on.
Imgur41

Vote a Comment

Action

In Make“Upvotes or downvotes a comment.”

Upvotes or downvotes a comment straight from your scenario, so your account backs useful answers without anyone opening Imgur.

When to use it
an earlier module picked out a helpful reply under one of your own posts and your team wants to support it.
Watch out
the vote goes out under the connected account, so check which one the connection uses before you switch the scenario on.

FAQ

Imgur and Make: frequent questions

01Is the Imgur Make integration free?
Yes, on the Make side. Imgur is a standard app, available from the Free plan like the 3,000+ standard apps. The Free plan allows 2 active scenarios, a minimum interval of 15 minutes between scheduled runs, 5 minutes of execution per run, files up to 5 MB and 512 MB of data transfer. Paid plans (Core, Pro, Teams, Enterprise) lower the interval to 1 minute, remove the cap on active scenarios and count usage in operations per month. On the Imgur side, you need an active account; Imgur's own pricing page covers its subscriptions.
02What do you need to connect Imgur to Make?
An active Imgur account and a registered application. In the application registration section of your Imgur settings, add a new application, enter the callback URI https://www.integromat.com/oauth/cb/imgur-com, complete the required fields and submit. Imgur then displays a Client ID and a Client secret. In Make, add any Imgur module, click Create a connection, optionally name it, paste both values and follow the on-screen instructions. The connection is then reused by every Imgur module in your scenarios.
03Does Imgur trigger a Make scenario in real time?
No, because Imgur has no trigger module in Make: all 41 modules are actions. A scenario still starts in two ways. Either you schedule it on its first module, every 15 minutes by default, 15 minutes at the shortest on the Free plan and 1 minute on paid plans. Or it begins with the trigger of another app, such as a new file in your storage tool, and Imgur modules follow. If that other app offers an instant trigger, it calls Make through a webhook as soon as the event happens.
04What if an Imgur module you need is missing in Make?
Use Make an API Call. This module ships with the Imgur app and lets a scenario call any endpoint of the Imgur API with the connection you already created, so an Imgur feature without its own module stays within reach. You write the request yourself, which means reading the Imgur API documentation first. Keep in mind the Free plan limits as well: files up to 5 MB and 5 minutes of execution per run, which matter as soon as your pictures get heavy.
05Should you use Make or n8n for Imgur?
It depends on the tool your team already runs. Make offers Imgur as 41 ready-made modules, uploads, albums, comments, favorites and account lookups, plus Make an API Call for the rest, all behind a single connection. The same app often exists as an n8n node as well, so check what is available there before deciding. Compare the modules you actually need, how your team likes to build, and the plan limits that apply to your volume.
