OpenAI "gpt-image-1" integration does not work – 403 Forbidden error when using Pabbly official action

[tokyo2025]

Hi team,

I received the following message from the Pabbly Team:

We've added the 'Generate Image (gpt-image-1)' action to our OpenAI integration. You can view the action event here:
https://www.pabbly.com/connect/integrations/openai/

As mentioned above, the gpt-image-1 image generation action has been integrated into the OpenAI module.
I created a corresponding workflow and selected the "Generate Image (gpt-image-1)" action in the OpenAI integration.

However, when running a test request, I encountered the following error and was unable to generate an image:

Are you able to execute other OpenAI action events using the same connection?

 

[tokyo2025]

Yes, I am able to generate text and use DALL·E 3 via the same connection.

Hello @tokyo2025,

Could you please confirm whether the connected OpenAI account has access to the gpt-image-1 model? This information will help us assist you more effectively.

Thank you so much for your kind support and patience!

It turns out that the issue was due to my OpenAI account not being verified for accessing protected models like `gpt-image-1`. I honestly wasn't aware that this "Verify Your Organization" step (eKYC) was required, and I truly appreciate you pointing me in the right direction.

After completing the verification process via Persona, everything is now working smoothly.

I'm very grateful for your assistance — it helped me overcome something I was stuck on for quite a while. Thank you again!
