Trigger

Action
Create Custom Image

Why this helps
Image import requests require several details and can be forgotten while teams switch between planning and cloud setup.
- Keep the image URL and distribution with the request.
- Reduce manual transfer of import details.
- Surface missing image information in the run report.
