Upload file to a <input type="file"> element
Selector
​Selector for the <input type="file"> element
File path
Absolute path to the file
Example
macOS: /Users/dkthehuman/Downloads/profile.png
Windows: C:\Documents\Newsletters\Summer2018.pdf
If uploading a file that was downloaded earlier in the flow from a Click command, pass in the variable set from the "Store downloaded file path in variable" field in Click
Requirements
In order to use this command, you need to allow Browserflow to access files:
1.Open chrome://extensions/
2.Click "Details" for Browserflow
3.Enable "Allow access to file URLs"
Limitations
Browserflow does not yet support uploading files into <input> elements inside iframes
Finding the file upload element
On many sites, the file upload element is hidden, which means that it's not possible to select it using the "Select" button. In these cases, you can use Recording Mode to have Browserflow detect the correct file upload element.
1.​Start recording​
2.Upload a file as you normally would
3.Stop recording
4.Clean up the recorded actions
If you clicked on a button to trigger the file selector, you can remove that command as it's not needed when using the Upload File command
Enter the absolute path for the file you'd like to upload (Browserflow cannot detect this automatically while recording)
