I want to upload file in Action center form and then Robot will read this file to do next step. Can we do that?

Hi @Liji ,
I am trying to upload a file to action center , but when I select the file the following message appear “Storage provider not found” , I already have added storage setting to create task activity , Please note that I am using classical folder .

Hi @FarahEtmeh, ideally that’s all it takes to mention the storage bucket name and I am hoping that you have a storage bucket with name ‘Procurement’ in the mentioned folder . By the way, the variable data type corresponding to a file upload control should be StorageUploads (use latest persistence package to get this type) Is there a sample workflow that you could share with us ?

Hi @FarahEtmeh,
From the screenshot, it looks like you are trying to use this file upload feature in Orchestrator.
We only support file uploads in Action Center and not in Orchestrator Actions.
If you go to ActionCenter, you should be able to upload files from there with the same action.
