Hi.

I am using the external Forms API to collect data from a wordpress site and insert the form fields into Hubspot. I have sucessfully integrated all fields except sending a file that is uploaded on the form.

I can’t find an example or reference to the format that the API is expecting for a file upload field.

Could someone point me to the reference or send a sample of how to format the field so that the uploaded file can be integrated to hubspot?

I am using the following API:

thank you
