Attach a file or image to a table

Hello, I’m trying to upload a file or jpeg image from one app and then view it from another app, but can’t seem to figure out how to save it to a table. I added a File widget on the upload app and a file type column to my designated table. I’m sure it is something basic I am missing, but I can’t seem to figure out how to get this to work. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Eric! Welcome to Tulip Community :tulip:

Quick question here, are you trying to upload a file or an image? If its an image, you will want to use the image input widget and have an image field/column type in your column (and not use the file input widget and file field/column type - its improtant to make sure the data type matches!)

Second question, what is your trigger logic to send the file / image to the table? Do you mind sharing a screenshot so we can take a look?

Thank you Beth for your quick response as this is my first time using Tulip Community and I still have a ton to learn building apps! Upon grabbing the screen shots I noticed my data types didn’t match (app and table). Once I fixed that the desired function worked!!

Is this the right forum for me to post these types of questions?

Thanks again,

Eric
