I’m using typeform to collect the application from users and sending them to airtable to store and evaluate. One of the field is attachment used for a profile pictures. While running the zap the file name of attachment changes to 100+ character long alpha-numeric string which is not ideal for my use case.
Is there any way to retain the same file name as it came from the typeform?
(unlike google-drive/box airtable don’t provide file name field in it’s action)

Otherwise, you’d have to use the Airtable API to upload files and set the filename parameter as indicated here: https://www.airtable.com/developers/scripting/api/cell_values#multiple-attachments
App APIs can be used in Zaps with the Webhook app or Code app.

As a possible workaround would be to first upload the file to GDrive, which will return the File Name, then map that value to another column in the Airtable Base Table.
