Where possible we recommend not using this, and instead using Beacon Forms/Portal Forms for adding data into your system, due to the complexity of the below.

Adding data to 'File upload' fields requires a different process than adding data to other field types. It’s a two step process:

1. Upload your file
   1. Get a signed URL
   2. Upload your file to it
   3. (If an image) Generate a preview image
2. Update your record with the uploaded file ID

Get a "signed URL" from our API

Run an API request to this endpoint:

GET /account/{account_id}/entity_file/upload_url

Include the following parameters in the query string:

• name (e.g. MyFile.png)
• content_type (e.g. image/png)

Example:

https://api.beaconcrm.org/v1/account/12345/entity_file/upload_url?content_type=image/png&name=MyFile.png
