Hey, is there a way to separate files in an attachment field in airtable?

Currently we have customers submitting photos into an attachment that automatically creates a new airtable record. These photos are stored under the one attachment field in airtable. I'm wanting to create an individual record for each file/photo in a different table called photos. 

For example; a customer submits three photos in one attachment. I want this to trigger an automation that creates a new record for each file within the attachment field. 

I've attached the code I'm trying to use with no success. Is there a way to do it without code?

Yeap, use a repeating group on the attachments field:
