File Upload field to Import?

    I appreciate the file upload field type, but I was wondering if it is possible to use the file upload in conjunction with other file import plugins to upload and process the data from the form after submission?

    I am envisioning some kind of “handover” logic where the form takes the attached file, passes it to the “file import plugin” and that plugin does what it does.

    There are several file import plugins, but one of the more widely used seems to be WP All Import (https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-all-import/) so it’d make sense to start there, perhaps?

    Thanks!

    Hi @mungbean

    I hope you’re well today and thank you for your question!

    I think I got the idea but there’s currently no such integrations out of the box. It would be possible but would require some additional custom code if it has to be all automated.

    Using Forminator API it would be possible to create code that would be executed upon submission of the form, would get submission data (including uploaded file URL/path) and could then trigger some other code – e.g. based on API/hooks of such import plugin.

    But that’s a bit of a complex code and I’m afraid it’s out of scope of our support.

    A workaround could be to use Zapier integration (Forminator to Zapier, import plugin to Zapier) or Google Sheets integraton in Forminator (to push data to Google Sheets) and Integromat to integrate Google Sheets to WP All Import. Though I haven’t had a chance to use such setup, I admit.

    I mean, both integrations – to Google Sheets and/or to Zapier – would work on Forminator end but integration of import plugin depends on such plugin so you may want to consult it with their support.

    Kind regards,
    Adam

    Thanks and understandable, Adam. I’ll look into Zapier and Google Sheets.
