Linking an uploaded file in HubDB

Hi everyone,

I am trying to create a HubDB row with a previously uploaded file.

Unfortunately, the documentation (https://developers.hubspot.com/docs/guides/api/cms/hubdb#add-table-rows) contains many use cases except files.

This code snippet is working:

client.cms.hubdb.rowsApi.createTableRow("id", { values: { name: "Dave", } });

However, when handling files, I have tried the following, and none of it is working:

// This one gives the error that string cannot be matched to HubDB.File client.cms.hubdb.rowsApi.createTableRow("id", { values: { file: file.id, } }); // This one also gives the error that string cannot be matched to HubDB.File client.cms.hubdb.rowsApi.createTableRow("id", { values: { file: file.url, } }); // This one gives the error that object cannot be matched to HubDB.File client.cms.hubdb.rowsApi.createTableRow("id", { values: { file: { id: file.id }, } });

Can anyone please provide some help regarding linking the file.

The file.id and file.url is directly from Hubspot after uploading the file.

Thank you and best regards

@LRomier - I'm not sure I have the solution here, but as you probably know, uploaded files from forms and attchements to emails are treated in a somwhat special way by the Files API. It's worth checking that:

- You have the right API scopes switched on to access this sort of file - including 'forms-uploaded-files'

- That the files are not set to Private (which seems the default). The API gives you an unhelpful 404 error for files that are set this way.

Good luck!
