How to Upload a File to Pipefy Using Make.com: A Guide

Have you ever tried to upload a file to a card in Pipefy and found yourself stuck? Don't worry, you're not alone. Many Make.com users have faced this challenge. But the good news is, there's a solution. And it's simpler than you might think.

Understanding the Problem

When trying to upload a file to a card in Pipefy, you might have been advised to run certain commands. But how do you do that using Make? And what if the file you want to upload is a URL? It can be quite confusing.

The Solution

The solution lies in using the "HTTP : Make a request” module for the execution of the API end point. But how do you build this request? Here's a step-by-step guide:

  1. Add the HTTP module "Get a file” to your scenario. Put the URL of your file in the URL field. This will give you the file that you can pass to Pipefy.
  2. Add the HTTP module "Make a request” to your scenario. The URL needs to be the URL from your sample code. The Method should be "PUT”. Set the Content-Type, and map the "Request Content” field to the data being returned by the "Get a file” module.

Note: The sample code doesn’t mention authentication. If your API needs authentication, you will have to use another module (such as the HTTP "Make a Basic Auth request” module). But if that is the case, I suggest you use the Pipefy "Make an API Call” module—it will be very similar to the HTTP module, but will handle authentication for you.

Troubleshooting Tips

If you're still having trouble, make sure you've added the "Get a file” module. After adding it, you should be able to select its content in the "Make a request” module.

Conclusion

Uploading a file to a card in Pipefy using Make doesn't have to be a headache. With the right modules and a clear understanding of how to build your request, you can easily overcome this challenge. Remember, the key is to use the "HTTP : Make a request” and "Get a file” modules effectively. Happy Making!
