File Upload and TTL and Engagement

Developer Support APIs & Integrations

Hi there,

I creates an Engagement of type Email, but now I like to create Email engaments where I will also add file attachments. According to the Documentation, the engagement POST body has the “attachments” parameter that I can use for this. However the attachments parameter required file IDs, which is explain in the documentation as files that are uploaded onto HS using the CMS Files API.

For the Upload a new file in Files API, there’s an option of ttl, or by default, HS will remove uploaded files after 3 months.

My question is, if the files that I have uplaoded using the Files API, are used to reference in the Email Engagements, will the files in the Engagement also be removed after 3 months?

Or, once an upload file is referenced by something like Engagements, they are copied somewhere else by HUB SPOT, and only the uploaded files are deleted???

Thank you.

Hey, @THa51 :waving_hand: Thanks for your question.

When uploading a file via the Files API, setting a `ttl` isn’t a required option. So you don’t have to use it if you don’t want your uploaded files to expire after a certain amount of time. From the documentation: “The file upload options. The only required field is the access field, which controls the file’s privacy and indexability.”

I hope this gets you moving forward. — Jaycee
