Using the Optimize Image Action
The Optimize Image action will download the image from its source URL and optimize it for storage directly in Glide. The action will change the width to a dimension you specify in pixels and format the file to jpeg. To use the feature:
In the Data Editor, create a column to store your image URLs if you don’t have one already.
Create a column to store the new, optimized images.
In the Layout Editor, select the component you'd like to add the action to. Remember, this must be a component that supports actions.
Search for the Optimize Image action or navigate to Integrations -> Image Editor -> Optimize Image.
Name the action.
Choose an icon.
Specify what column will be the source of image URLs, or enter a URL manually as a custom value.
Note that image URLs must be 255 characters or less.
Input the max width in pixels.
Select which column should store the optimized image URLs.
