How do I upload to ImageKit?

Short answer: You can upload to imagekit in ImageKit by hand from its own interface, but it won’t repeat itself. On TinyCommand, add the ImageKit Upload to ImageKit action to a workflow, map its 4 inputs from any upstream app, and it runs automatically every time the trigger fires. No code, and a free tier to start.
