Connected typeform to airtable through a zapier integration. Text data, single select options work and is moved. Problem is the uploaded image / attachment from typeform comes up empty in my airtable. Anybody with the same problem?
Screenshot of attachment being uploaded in typeform:

Hi @John_Young, and welcome to the community!
Yes, and broadly for many integrated process. This is a known bug discussed here, here, and here.
+352025 Update:
@John_Young Are you sending the URL of the attachment to Airtable? You can’t send the binary attachment file, you have to send the URL. And you will want to use Make’s TypeForm integrations for this.
However, your #1 best bet for this is to use Fillout’s advanced forms for Airtable because it communicates directly with Airtable and can easily do everything that you requested, such as natively communicating with Airtable’s attachment fields.
Fillout is 100% free, and it offers hundreds of features that Airtable’s native forms don’t offer, including the ability to update Airtable records using a form, create custom PDF files from a form submission, accept payments on forms, pre-fetch dynamic data from an Airtable record, customize the style and branding of your form, customize a theme for your form, display Airtable lookup fields on forms, create new linked records on a form, add a login page to your form, perform math or other live calculations on your forms, collect signatures on a form, create multi-page forms with conditional paths, connect a single form to dozens of external apps simultaneously, add CAPTCHAs to your form, and much more.
I show how to use a few of the advanced features of Fillout on these 2 Airtable podcast episodes:

I did not see that possibility. :winking_face: Good catch.

I am not sending the URL attachment. I was assuming it would just send the file directly to airtable as an attachment.
Awesome! How would I set that up in that case? How can I source the uploaded image on typeform as a URL?
