Uploading an image file from an n8n workflow into the database as a file via HTTP request or the baserow node

[Jonjon]

Are you using our SaaS platform (Baserow.io) or self-hosting Baserow?

SaaS

What are the exact steps to reproduce this issue?

i am trying to set up the http request to upload the file into my baserow database i can get it to authenticate but i cant seen to get the file to upload into the Image_file field

Attach screenshots, videos, or logs that demonstrate the issue.

@joffcom do you maybe have any ideas why this is not working?

Afaik uploading a file to Baserow via N8N is a 2-part thing…at least I could not fix it smarter!

I upload whatever file via HTTP API Call…like that.

After that I can write it into my rows with the N8N native node:

Perhaps it is easier “cloud-native”

The trick is the binary data needs to be in the node directly before the node you want to use it in, if you change the order it should work.

We are looking at changing this so you can use the binary data from any node… using an http request node seems a bit painful for it though I might update the node to include this when I get a chance.
