Create a form to allow for file uploads, even when the form is embedded on an external website.

Quick question about Zapier Forms. Is it possible to create a Zapier Form that allows file uploads when the form is embedded on an external website (for example, a Circle community page)?

From what I can tell, file uploads work when using the hosted Zapier Form link, but I’m not sure if they’re supported when the form is embedded elsewhere.

If this isn’t supported, are there any recommended workarounds?

Thanks!

Hi ​@Erin8756 

Have you tried to embed the form and test the file upload?

Sometimes that’s the best/only way to be sure.

Hi there ​@Erin8756 👋

A form with file upload fields should still work when embedded on a different site. Have you had a chance to test it out by embedding the form in a page on your Circle community yet? 

Let us know how it goes when you do! Happy to lend a hand if you get stuck at all 🙂
