Hello, I am trying to make a connector function with a POST request and include a photo in the connector body. I know that photo’s are stored to s3 blob storage, but whenever I try and access the photos through the s3 url I also get an access denied error. If there is a way to send a photo through a POST connector let me know!

Hi @trevor -

Are you by chance on r271 or later? Asking because we had new functionality roll out on r271 ([Factory 271 Release - January 2024 - Factory Releases](https://support.tulip.co/docs/en/factory-271-release-january-2024)) where Connector image inputs can now allow base64 encoding on the image input, and this can be used in connector payloads. Perhaps that could be an option for you here?

I myself need to check with the team on the URL / S3 method here, I believe that should be possible too. I’ll check with our team and get back to you!
