Hello,
New to Zapier!
I'm trying to build a Zap to retrieve a file from Webflow. I have a form in Webflow with an upload option that allows users to upload an image.
I've tried several methods to grab the file, but nothing seems to work. My ultimate goal is to retrieve the file from Webflow and send it to Remove.bg to remove the background.
I have already turned off the "restrict upload file access" setting, so login is not required.
What is the best way to achieve this?

Help us have more info by posting screenshots showing how your Zap steps are outlined and configured in EDIT mode with the field mappings visible.
Since Webflow is not sending a public image URL, we must fetch the uploaded file using a webhook in Zapier.
1️⃣ Go to Zapier → Click "Create a Zap".
2️⃣ Search for "Webhooks by Zapier" and select it as the Trigger App.
3️⃣ Choose "Catch Hook" as the Trigger Event.
4️⃣ Click Continue → Zapier will generate a Webhook URL.
5️⃣ Copy this Webhook URL.
I copied the Webhook URL from this Zap. I then went back to my original Zaap below and copied that URL into the URL text field
The test complets successfully.
I am not sure where to go from here. I did have a step in there for OneDrive but took it out

Can you post screenshots showing the DATA OUT that is returned from the Webflow Zap trigger step?
Using the Webhook URL in Zap step 2 will trigger the other Zap, but it will never return any data.
If you are trying to make an API request to Webflow, then that would require a different Zap step configuration.
Absolutely…
I’m just tring to get the uploaded file from Webflow and send it onto removebg. If there is a better configuration I’m all ears. I’ve been playing with this for to long and trying different methods, I’m sure I’m missing the easy step.

Is this a publicly accessible direct download to the file?
Check by copy/pasting into a new/different private browser.
If yes, then simply map that variable to the desired Zap step field.
Is this a publicly accessible direct download to the file?
I did copy it directly into an incognito browser and it does not prompted me to log in to an app, it loads directly in the web browser instead of downloading, therefore the link cannot be used.
Thanks for your support

Can you provide the actual file url for us to have full context?

Can you show how you have configured the Remove.bg Zap step to map this variable from the Webflow Zap step?
File redirects to an AWS S3 hosted file.

Can you post screenshots with how your have Zap step 3 for Remove.bg configured in EDIT mode with the field mappings visible?

If you did get it sorted, would you be up for sharing what worked? It could be super helpful for others running into similar issues when working with Webflow files 🙏
Looking forward to hearing from you!
