Dear All,  
I am using Thunkable and try to take a picture and store it into cloudinary via mediaDb but i get Invalid Signature baf5fcbad23769c265adb4112c679fc57dcabfdb. String to sign - ‘timestamp=1719927671’. .

When I checked with cloudinary support team they were asking about the code using to generate this signature.

Then they advised generate an authentication signature as documented [Generating authentication signatures | Cloudinary](https://community.cloudinary.com/home/leaving?allowTrusted=1&target=https%3A%2F%2Fcloudinary.com%2Fdocumentation%2Fauthentication_signatures) … which I seriously did not understand.

I surfed here and found mutiple conversation happened but no where I found a solution to be easy…

Is there a easy step as like before to upload image from Thunkable to Cloudinary.?

Your help is greatly appreciated.

Hello @testertry619hk7j  
Welcome to the community  
Probably the issue is happening because the API Secret is not correct.  
Could you please check the Cloudinary Settings in your project?
