On the next screen, login into your Kaleido Account or create your own account. :::note Remove.bg currently has issues with sending a confirmation email when you sign up with a Google account. If you'd like to sign up via Google, please create an account outside of MESA first: [https://accounts.kaleido.ai/users/sign_up](https://accounts.kaleido.ai/users/sign_up). Once you are logged into your Remove.bg account, please go back to your MESA workflow and refresh the page. Then, restart the connecting process by clicking on the **Connect with Remove.bg** button. ::: Afterwards, click on the **Authorize app** button from the Permissions page.

You will be brought back to your current workflow and you are all set! MESA is now connected with your Remove.bg account. --- ### Configuration #### Sending an image URL to Remove.bg If you have an image URL, you can input the image URL into the **Image URL** field.

You can also use [MESA's variables](https://docs.getmesa.com/workflow-builder/fields/variables/) in the **Image URL** field. For example, if you currently use [Uploadery by ShopPad](https://apps.shopify.com/uploadery), you can create a workflow that removes all background images from every Uploadery file included in a Shopify customer's order: [Uploadery Order Created Trigger](https://docs.getmesa.com/connect/uploadery/#create) -> [Loop](https://docs.getmesa.com/tools/loop.md) -> Remove.bg **Remove Background Image** step.

#### Using Remove.bg's edited image You can use [MESA's Variables feature](https://docs.getmesa.com/workflow-builder/fields/variables/) to use Remove.bg's edited image in a later step in your workflow. The **Result URL** variable will contain the image with no background.
