Attaching File upload to Salesforce Integration

Can you tell me how can I accomplish this:

"* Attach file uploads to records

-Maybe, mapping Jotform file upload field to your salesforce custom field. "

I've not been successful with this. The file attachment field does not show as an option to choose to map field.

Hi,

Well, if you cannot find the field in the options, then it is not supported by the integration. But let me try it and get back to you for final findings.

Thank you!

Hi Welvin,

I know that the email notification can generate the link but I don't know how I can make that link available for mapping purpose.

Hi,

As far as I know, you can only mapped the form fields during integration setup. So, I am not really sure how you are suppose to map just a link.

In any case our colleague Welvin will get back to you for any findings/info he gets.

Thanks.

Do you know what field type (on Salesforce) can be mapped with Jotform File Attachment? I've tried text field and URL field but none works.

I've tried, but unfortunately, it's not possible at the moment. Even when using the URL field type:

There's no mapping option for the file upload in the form builder:

Thank you!

Do you think it's possible to have this feature in the near future? I think you have already been able to generate the link (in email) it should be able to be generated in the form integration as well.

Meanwhile, if in addition to integrating with Salesforce, I integrate Jotform with Drobpox, is it possible that Jotform can push the file link to Salesforce?

I'm not sure if Salesforce support file upload in their API. Let me forward this thread to our developers as a feature request. We can't promise any timeframe for this, but if there are updates, you should know it via this thread.

Thank you!

I look forward to hear from you.

Thank you.

HI,

We will let you know as soon as we have any updates on the possibility of adding this feature.  Thank you very much for the request.  In the mean time, let us know if there is anything else we can help you with and we will be happy to do so.

This is now available. File upload fields can be mapped to SaleForce fields (text-based). Uploaded file links will be added to the new SalesForce record created.

Please do let us know if there is anything else you need help with.

Hi, I mapped a File Upload field in jotform into Text field in Salesforce. This is what is mapped:

{"widget_metadata":{"type":"links","value":[]}}

Can someone please explain how can I get the link to the file?

To elaborate on what Neil said, you should be able to map the upload field to a set text-based field for salesforce similar to how it's already being done when integrating and that should generate the uploaded file links that you originally needed for it.

If you're still confused or it's not working just let us know and we'll take a look to double-check it and provide additional clarification if needed.

Hi. I'm interested in using this function but I don't understand the thread above. My use case is this: I want to map fields from jotform to lead fields in salesforce (also, I want to generate a new lead when jotform is submitted). Does the above solution apply?

Thank you

This thread is a bit outdated.  The following guide is a bit more up to date but still slightly outdated:

https://www.jotform.com/help/271-Flexible-Data-Integration-With-Salesforce

This will allow for creating new leads in Salesforce when your form is submitted. 

The current thread is related to passing file upload URL's along with the rest of the form data.  Make sure to use the regular file upload field. 

If this is not working on your end, please create a new thread letting us know which form you are working with, as well as what fields cannot be mapped and we will be happy to have a closer look:
