how to upload a image or file

Hello Amit,

Thanks for reaching out. To help you with the right steps, could you please clarify a few things:

1. Which Pabbly product are you using (for example, Pabbly Connect, Chatflow, Form Builder, or Email Marketing)?
2. Where exactly are you trying to upload the image or file (for example, into a workflow step, a form field, a media/template message, or an email builder)?
3. What is the end goal after uploading (for example, sending it in a message, storing it, or inserting it somewhere)?

Once I know your specific use case, I can share the exact steps for uploading your image or file.

I am trying to update this Image URL

Hello Amit,

Thank you for sending the screenshot.

To help you with the exact setup for your workflow, could you please share a bit more detail about your complete use case?

1. Where is the image file currently stored or coming from? (For example, Google Drive, a Google Form submission, Webhook, or local storage?)

2. Are you trying to send a fixed/static image to all recipients, or should the image change dynamically for each person?

Once you share these details, I'll guide you step-by-step on how to configure or update this field!

Hi Please see my response

1. Where is the image file currently stored or coming from? ---- CURRENTLY the image is ON MY DESKTOP

2. Are you trying to send a fixed/static image to all recipients, or should the image change dynamically for each person? ----------SAME IMAGE will be send to everyone

Can you please answer

Hello Amit,

Thanks for providing those details!

Since the image is currently on your desktop and you want to send the same fixed image to everyone, you'll need to upload it to a public web/cloud storage platform so Pabbly Chatflow can fetch it via a public link.

Here are the step-by-step instructions to set this up:

1. Upload your image to a cloud hosting platform:

   • Google Drive: Upload the image, right-click the file > Share > set access to "Anyone with the link". Convert the sharing link into a direct link (or use a direct link format like [https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/d/FILE_ID](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/d/FILE_ID)).

   • Imgur / ImageKit / WordPress: Alternatively, upload the file to any free image host (like Imgur or ImageKit) and copy the direct URL.

2. Ensure direct URL format: Make sure the link ends with a direct image extension such as .jpg or .png.

3. Paste into Pabbly Chatflow: Paste that direct URL into the Image URL field in your Pabbly Chatflow action setup and click Save & Send Test Request.
