Hi Devs, I've successfully implemented a headless chat architecture: React Native App = Supabase Edge Function = Botpress Messaging API.Text messages flow perfectly, i m using chat integration. My final roadblock is File Uploads. My Botpress flow relies on the standard Capture File card to pause the workflow, receive a file, extract its URL, name and type, and store it in a variables. Goal: I need to make the API message sent from my Edge Function appear to Botpress exactly like the drag-and-drop action in the Emulator. THE QUESTION: how to do that ?

i don't understand your problem

the caputre file works perfectly in the botpress emulator or webview

Continuing our conversation from the AMA

well i can't really help you with that

(testing the limitation of botpress docs AI) - Upload the file and obtain a public or signed URL. - Call the Botpress Messaging API (POST /api/v1/bots/:botId/converse/:sessionId) with a type: "file" message. - The payload must contain the properties described in the docs:

{
  "type": "file",
  "payload": {
    "fileUrl": "https://my-storage.example.com/path/to/file.pdf",
    "filename": "file.pdf",
    "content_type": "application/pdf"
  }
}

- Botpress will set event.type to "file" and expose the values: {{event.payload.fileUrl}} – the file URL. {{event.payload.filename}} – the file name. {{event.payload.content_type}} – MIME type. - In your Capture File card, simply reference the variables above (e.g., {{event.payload.fileUrl}}) to store the URL, name, and type in workflow variables.

i will try this theory

Let me know 😄

thanks for the help buddy

if you just want to emulate the receiving the file part then it's easy as ross showed

this is the nod i m using the capture file card to setup varibles in my workflow https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1450481305031802980/1450518327003709530/image.png?ex=6942d3f6&is=69418276&hm=649027520563f84a05227dcda0c9e0d51666de466a2b9b985652afb57794db87&

well there are several ways

I think i found a solution, using the capture file is too much complicated cause i need to take in mind that the user can access my botpress using an app or a website or my db, so i will juste use instead an execute code card to manually resolve this problem using code
