Manually Integrate Latest Gemini Models Into External Workflows

Use API keys to access latest models in third-party tools.

Access the latest Gemini models (Pro 1.5 or Flash) in workflow tools like Clay immediately by using a manual API integration.

Google Gemini

The Scenario

You are using a sales automation tool like Clay and want to use the faster Gemini 1.5 Flash model for lead qualification, but it’s not in the default dropdown yet.

Before & after

The old way

Wait for third-party platforms like Clay to natively update their dropdown menus with the newest Gemini models, which can take weeks. (Days or weeks of waiting)

With AI

Add the Gemini 1.5 Pro or Flash endpoint to your Clay workspace using a custom HTTP integration and your API key. (5–10 minutes)

The Prompt

Set up an HTTP POST request to 'https://generativelanguage.googleapis.com/v1beta/models/gemini-1.5-pro-latest:generateContent?key=[YOUR_API_KEY]' with the body containing your prompt.

If your favorite productivity tool (like Clay) hasn't officially listed the newest Gemini models yet, you can often bridge the gap by using a custom HTTP request column and your Google AI Studio API key.
