## Do we have a “help” channel? Trying to make an api call to create a record with an attachment field and running into issues. Thanks!

#### 1. First you have to upload file using our storage api - [https://all-apis.nocodb.com/#tag/Storage/operation/storage-upload](https://all-apis.nocodb.com/#tag/Storage/operation/storage-upload)

#### 2. Use the response from storage api and provide the attachment column as JSON array of attachment( response from first one )

#### - [https://all-apis.nocodb.com/#tag/DB-table-row/operation/db-table-row-create](https://all-apis.nocodb.com/#tag/DB-table-row/operation/db-table-row-create)

#### Sample payload ```json

#### {

#### “title”: “abc”,

#### “attachmenttColumnName”: “[{"url": "string", "fileName":"string", "mimetype": "string", "size": "string"}]”

#### }

#### ```
