Forminator File Upload is not sent to Webhook

    I have been using Forminator with Zapier webhook integration without issues (with file uploads) for several months. But for around two weeks, the webhook does not send the file upload data (URL, path, etc.) to the Webook; only null is sent.

    The test webhook request is sending some dummy data:

    upload-1:
name: Upload document
type: image/png
size: 0
file_url: https://mysitedomain.com
file_path: /home/mysite/wp-content/uploads

    But with real form submission with a PDF file the upload-1 field is null.

    Fields with no value:
url-1
referer_url
input_10
upload-1
_forminator_user_ip
querystring

    How should I fix this issue? I really need the file upload URL on the Zapier side in order to work my flow properly.

    Hi @adamdienes

    Sorry about the inconvenience.

    We’ll need to gather more information to determine what could be causing this issue. First, can you confirm if files are uploaded without issues in other forms that are not integrated to Zapier?

    If files are uploaded properly in other forms, could you try running a plugin conflict test? This should be preferably done on a staging site if possible. Basically, you’ll need to create a backup of the site (in case you need to revert any changes made through this procedure) next, deactivate all plugins, except Forminator and switch to a basic theme. Then verify if the issue persists. If it doesn’t then start activating the plugins/theme one by one until you identify the one causing the issue. Share the results of the conflict test to provide further help.

    In case the issue persists one last step should be to downgrade the plugin (if you suspect an updated caused the issue) Please go to this page and scroll to the bottom to find the previous plugin versions

    If this is isolated to the integration only, could you check the Zap history to identify if there is any misconfiguration or error/warning?
    https://zapier.com/app/history

    Let us know the results you get after the recommended troubleshooting steps above.

    Looking forward to hear your response.

    Kind regards

    Hi Luis @wpmudev-support7,

    Thank you for your quick answer and tips. I deactivated all plugins, switched to the default theme and rolled the Forminator plugin version to 1.19.0 (2022-10-20 – when the website was not even created and the form worked fine). The selected file is uploading correctly to the Submissions tab with or without Zapier integration and the e-mail notification also contains the uploaded PDF file. However, on the Zapier history end, the upload-1 file is still missing.

    This is a test submission for one of my forms with webhook. The PDF is there (blurred and underlined) and the webhook data sending is successful.

    This is the Zapier zap history for the same submission. Zapier shows no warning on the flow. Notice that the upload-1 field is null.

    I have also tried the webhook with webhook.site and the issue persists. Could you suggest the same ideas on how to troubleshoot this issue? Did Zapier change the API somehow? Does the Forminator plugin support activity log file to check the issue?

    Best regards,
    Adam

    Hi @adamdienes

    We had a similar issue in the past where Zapier was taking too long to identify the upload, could you:

    – Add your upload field/form,
    – Add the Zapier Webhook configuration
    – Make a couple of submissions before checking the Zapier > Test Webhook feature?

    If makes no difference, kindly export the form https://wpmudev.com/docs/wpmu-dev-plugins/forminator/#import-export

    I have also tried the webhook with webhook.site and the issue persists. Could you suggest the same ideas on how to troubleshoot this issue? Did Zapier change the API somehow? Does the Forminator plugin support activity log file to check the issue?

    Forminator should not be using Zapier API, we can add any Webhook to it, so we need to investigate why it wouldn’t be sending, about the log you can enable it following this guide https://wpmudev.com/docs/wpmu-dev-plugins/forminator/#integrations-not-working

    Let us know the result you got or in case it fails again please share the form using pastebin or google drive.

    Best Regards

    Hello @adamdienes ,

    We haven’t heard from you for some time now, so it looks like you don’t have more questions for us.

    Feel free to re-open this topic if needed.

    3 months later, the exact same bug exists.. uploaded files aren’t being forwarded in the webhook.
