Upload multiple images via custom forms

[DB_Looper]

I’m trying to upload images via a custom form sending data to a tape webhook and I have also tried via google form triggering a webhook to tape, I’ve got the form fields submitting no problem, but I don’t know how I am supposed to upload images from the form. I get the google drive id for that image as the webhook data from the google form and for the custom form the data comes through as base64. But how am i supposed to upload the multiple images from one field dorm, into one image field of the tape app?

Any help would be really appreciated!

Alternatively, I have a custom form I made that encodes the images in base64 and sends them through

Hi @DB_Looper and welcome

I think this might help:

How to process a base64 encoded image from a webhook into Tape

Sometimes, we may receive images from external systems as Base64 encoded string data. This guide shows how to process that string and ultimately create image files that are attached to a record in Tape. For testing purposes, we will use this Base64 string which is a Tape demo image (use the button on the right to copy the string. Careful, it is long!). It can be found and copied right here: Base 64 Example Payload Let’s proceed with the example: 1) Setup your App Navigate insid…

At least for the custom form one there is a couple of other conversions on the subject kicking around as well but I think that one is the clearest.
If you are still stuck let us know and I can try help more.

I can get that to work for singular images, But if someone uploads multiple images into a field form, it’s only processing the first image.

Yes, it can get a little complex with multiples, this thread talks about it and a solution at the end:

[✅ Solution] Attaching files from webhook using base64 with multiple files

Thanks for the mention @Jason, and also for assisting here with useful suggestions. Indeed, looking at your screenshot, @comfreakph, there is one issue with your last action block assigning the “Files” field. As you perform a calculation assignment, the new value will the value that your calculation yields. As you only provide the var_tape_file_id it only takes the new file and removes the rest. An easy way around this would be to include your original variable if it exists and compose it into…

hopefully, that will help.
