Allow the user the ability to upload a file
# 👀feature-requests

Currently, Botpress only provides the bot the ability to send a file to the user. What is needed is a capture card that allows for the user to input a file that can be parsed into the knowledge base or in the data tables. Frankly, i feel like adding the ability to add data tables without a more intuitive way to populate them makes that feature incomplete. If the bot can output files, it should be able to input files as well, and we should be able to parse using an execute code card.

This is critical to my usecase, is there any way to do this until botpress allows file upload? Unfortunately if i cant let users upload files this will prevent me from using botpress 😢

I think this feature is a MUST if Botpress wants to be the market leader! it is obvious that the assistants of the future will be multimodal
b
This feature will be really useful as a 'try before you subscribe' option for potential clients who want to check how an agent works with their document .

HI folks! Any updates on this feature? Is there a workaround to capture voice message as attachment and then transcribe it to text?
b
the ability to upload files and manage/capture voice messages is already live on Botpress - this is quite an old thread!
a
would i be able to chat with the files which i have uploaded in botpress
o
Of course! When you upload the file, index it and add it to your knowledge base and then use search knowledge base / query knowledge base cards within autonomous node / standard node respectively
a
i mean from the user interface if i try to upload an file
