OpenAI Image Generation Configuration

OpenAI Image Generation Configuration Interface The OpenAI image generation configuration screen in Novaplan AI where you’ll enter your API Key and Model Name Novaplan AI can use an OpenAI image-generation model to create images from text prompts in agents and workflows. Choose a model that is currently available to your OpenAI account and compatible with your deployed Novaplan AI workspace.

​
Required Fields

​
API Key *

The API Key is required to authenticate your requests to OpenAI’s image generation services. How to obtain an API Key:
  1. Log in to your OpenAI account
  2. Navigate to the API Keys section
  3. Create a new secret key
  4. Copy the key immediately (it will only be shown once)
Security note: Treat this API key as a secret. Use the approved workspace setup flow, and coordinate access and rotation with Novaplan and your provider administrator.

​
Model Name *

The Model Name field defines which OpenAI image generation model you want to use with Novaplan AI. Copy the exact model ID from OpenAI’s current image-generation guide, then confirm that the model works in your Novaplan AI workspace. Older setup screens may show gpt-image-1 or dall-e-3 as examples; a placeholder does not establish current availability. OpenAI marks DALL·E 3 as deprecated and removed from its API, so do not choose dall-e-3 for a new connection.

​
Configuration Steps

As shown in the image above:
  1. Click Configure on the OpenAI provider card
  2. Enter your OpenAI API Key in the designated field (marked with *)
  3. Specify your desired Model Name (marked with *)
  4. (Optional) Set a Model Friendly Name — a human-readable label shown in the UI
  5. Click Add Model to save and validate your credentials
Both the API Key and Model Name are required fields to successfully configure OpenAI image generation integration.

​
Usage Considerations

  • Each image generation request will count against your OpenAI account’s quota and billing
  • Different models have different pricing — check OpenAI’s pricing page for details
  • Image generation is typically more expensive per request than text generation

​
Troubleshooting

  • If you encounter authentication errors, verify your API key is correct and has not expired
  • Ensure your OpenAI account has billing set up
  • Check that the model ID matches OpenAI’s current catalog exactly and is supported by the deployed workspace
  • Verify your account has access to the image generation API (some API keys may have restrictions)
