Why are multiple file upload URLs wrapped in HTML when sent to Make?

If you're collecting multiple file uploads and then passing the data from Make to another tool (such as Airtable), you may notice that the uploaded file URLs arrive wrapped in HTML instead of as plain URLs. This can make it more difficult to process multiple attachments in your automation workflow.

This happens because the native Formaloo/Make integration currently sends file upload fields as formatted values.

Use a webhook to receive plain file URLs

As an alternative, you can connect your form to Make using a webhook:

  1. In Make, create a new webhook and copy its URL,

  2. In Formaloo, click your profile icon in the top-right corner,

  3. Go to Apps & Integrations ➔ open the Webhook app ➔ Add new integration,

  4. Connect the integration to your form, and paste your Make webhook URL into the Endpoint field,

  5. Configure any additional settings, such as:

    • Whether the webhook should trigger on form submit, row update, or other events,

    • Whether to send raw data or rendered data.

Choose how file upload data is sent

Send raw data

  • Each uploaded file URL is sent as a separate value.

  • URLs are sent without HTML formatting:

Send rendered data

  • All uploaded file URLs are sent together in a single rendered value,

  • URLs are sent without HTML formatting:

This approach can make it easier to work with multiple uploaded files and pass them to other tools in your Make scenarios.
