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:
Screenshot of table with missing attachment data:

Solved!
Solution:
- Turns out I’ve been choosing the wrong field. My initial assumption was that I would choose the typeform field which would return the attachment in Airtable, as how I would do with the text fields. Problem was that the data always came up empty.
- Well, there’s an option there in Zapier that notes a file that “exists but not shown” Changed the option to that and now everything works.

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.

@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.

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?
