Renaming attachment in Airtable

[edwardzev]

Hi there,
I know this question had been discussed several times, but I still couldn’t find a sufficient answer.
So, I have a form that collects client’s images that have names, ex clientimage.jpg
I want to rename the attachment so that name will include info from different fields.
For example
jobID_copies_clientname_originalname.jpg
where jobID,copies,clientname are fields.
and the result would be
6280_500_John_clientimage.jpg

Note. I have only one attachment in attachment field.

How this can be done?

Hey @edwardzev

Could you please tell us how you wanted to process the bold part 6280_500_John_clientimage.jpg, is it coming from the API or do you want to process this in your workflow?

Thanks

All come from API

Hey @edwardzev

We looked into your concern and it seems like it is not possible to dynamically rename the image file. You have to do it manually from the application.

For a better understanding, you can refer to the following article.
