Hi @Kushagra_Bisht

Although I don’t immediately know the answer to your question, I wanted to let you know that the Chatbot service is now deprecated, see here:

Deprecation Notice: The Chatbot Connector Preview is deprecated effective July 1st ‘21

What is changing? The UiPath chatbot connector preview (chatbot.uipath.com) to Google Dialogflow ES is deprecated effective July 1st 2021 and will be removed permanently on Oct 24th 2021. We recommend any solutions that use the chatbot connector to integrate with RPA be updated to use public UiPath Orchestrator APIs. Why is it changing? We have heard customer feedback on a preference for integrating UiPath RPA with a wide variety of chatbots that they already use, while for those in the mark…

You might want to rethink the approach based on this information.

@loginerror, @Kushagra_Bisht - the deprecation notice is specifically for the chatbot connector preview. The Druid chatbot that you’re using is unaffected by this notice and will continue to be available.

On how to upload a file from the Druid chatbot - you’ll need to use the File Upload step.
Documentation and a tutorial video for the File Upload step can be found in the help page accessible from your Druid environment
