Hi Zapier Community, 👋

I have a webhook embedded on my website that triggers when a form is submitted. The webhook sends all the form data to a Google Doc successfully.

However, my form also includes an image upload field, and I’m trying to append or insert that image into the Google Doc along with the rest of the data.

I’ve tried a few approaches — including passing the image URL and using base64 encoding — but the image either doesn’t show up or appears as plain text.

Has anyone managed to get uploaded images (from a form submission) to display properly in Google Sheets through a Zapier webhook?

Any best practices, examples, or workarounds would be greatly appreciated! 🙏

Thanks in advance,
Shrikant

You could just send the public image link from the form and use =IMAGE(url) in google sheets..

Thanks for response Lanny, I am appending data on Google Doc not on Google sheet.

Hey!

This is what I’ve used to add images from a link to GoogleDocs. 

<img src="url" width="500">

Thanks for your response! Unfortunately, that solution didn’t work for me — it only appended the image tag as plain text in the document, rather than displaying the actual image.

Hey ​@brilliantpromoter,

Use Insert Image action for inserting image in Google Docs.

Hope it helps!

Hey ​@brilliantpromoter 👋 Just wanted to check how you got on with Sparsh’s suggestion here. Did that Insert Image action do the trick?

Let us know if you ran into any issues with it or need more help at all - always happy to lend a hand! 🙂
