Separate Airtable Attachment Field into multiple Fields distributes files from one attachment field across several destination fields on the same record. Each selected destination receives the attachment at the corresponding position in the source list.
What you can do
- Choose one source attachment field.
- Select destination attachment fields in the intended order.
- Put the first source file in the first destination, the second in the second, and so on.
Use cases and examples
A workflow that needs separate File 1, File 2, and File 3 inputs can begin with one multi-file upload field. The automation places those attachments into dedicated fields for later processing.
- Processing files individually: Put files from a multi-attachment field into separate output fields so a downstream workflow can select each one separately.
- Attachment organization: Organize a record’s attachments into designated fields instead of leaving the entire collection in one field.
How to get started
Create enough destination fields for the attachments you want to distribute, select the source, and add destinations in order. Test records with different file counts and check the outputs before running more records.
Good to know
Files are assigned by their position in the source field. Provide enough destination fields for the files you want to distribute.
