Hi

We use a file attachment field on web forms for people applying for jobs on our website to attach their CVs. Hubspot is great at auto creating the contact record in the CRM, but the file upload is added to the record as a URL. We would like the files uploaded to be automatically added as an attachment on the contact record. Is this possible?

Thanks.
