Adding the Upload block

In the blocks tab, navigate to input and drag the upload block into your heyflow
Adjust the settings such as format and date ranges as needed
In the build column, edit the label and sub-label to indicate, for example, something such as accepted file types.
Just publish your heyflow and you’re good to go!

Access to the upload files

The files are sent to you via a link in the response. By clicking on this link, the uploaded file will be downloaded automatically. However, you must be logged in to Heyflow to do this.

If you want to share the answers with people who do not have access to your Heyflow account, you can enable Link access in the Heyflow settings under Uploads, so that it is not necessary to be logged in for the download.

❗ Upload links do not have a time limit, but they become inaccessible as soon as the associated response or Heyflow is deleted.

Designing the Upload block

There are multiple ways to adjust the block, even more than described above. Just head to the Design tab and start working on the Presets. In some plans, you can dive even deeper into all spheres of design & look. When working on the presets, you can head to the Styles section on top and start editing every little detail of each section.
