Hey all, im trying to connect a lora that I trained to Pickaxe and use the power of Fal.ai to generate the image. I used the Fal.ai action in pickaxe but it doesn’t allow me to enter the specific lora path anywhere. How can I setup a specific lora from Fal.ai in Pickaxe? ---

Hi @chadvmm I will test it for you by tomorrow and update you 👍 ---

Thank you. Let me know if you need any additional information from me ---

Hi @chadvmm I’m testing Fal now. Can you send me some details about your Pickaxe? - What does the workflow look like? - What output are you trying to achieve? - Chat or form-style pickaxe? - How many connected actions do you have running at the same time? ---

I did some quick tests on my end today and managed to connect my Fal API key and URL endpoints directly from the Pickaxe action. **A couple of things to pay attention to:** ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex004/uploads/pickaxeproject/original/2X/b/b6597569b0328c3f6c6ad898866ffc139709e7c1.png) - Ensure your Lora model on Fal is set up and you have an API key ready. - Save your API secret and URL endpoint in a notepad or code editor on your PC/Mac. - Ensure your **main Pickaxe prompt is informed of its task and how and when it should trigger the Fal connected action.** - Ensure your Fal action Trigger prompt is informed of when to trigger the connection between your Pickaxe and Fal. - Find \> copy \> paste **both** your **Submit** URL **and** **Status** URL endpoints from Fal into the action settings (red arrows). If you want to create a custom action, here is essential API documentation if you wish to create a custom action and use python code (in the Action code section) to connect your Fal API key and URL Endpoint: > **[FLUX.1 \[dev\] with LoRAs | Text to Image | API Documentation | fal.ai](https://fal.ai/models/fal-ai/flux-lora/api)** > > Super fast endpoint for the FLUX.1 \[dev\] model with LoRA support, enabling rapid and high-quality image generation using pre-trained LoRA adaptations for personalization, specific styles, brand identities, and product-specific outputs. ---

Thank you for testing it out. I figured it out. The connection to the action is going to be exactly how you mentioned but I need to include in the prompt how I want the output to be formatted. I tried using the [Make.com](http://Make.com) connected action and I was able to get the correct format but when I use the Fal connected action it does not output the correct format ---

Im playing around with the prompt to see if that helps. I also tried including how I want the format in the prompt injection but it doesn’t output the right format with the Fal connected action ---
