Pulling an attached file from WuFoo

October 2, 20187 yr

We use WuFoo for data gathering over the web and then import the data on a nightly basis into a FMP database from an exported tab-delimited file. We've been doing this for a couple of years but WuFoo recently changed the way they encode attachments they no longer pull into the database. I had a simple script step using "Insert from URL" which read the URL from the exported WuFoo file and put the linked attachment into a container field but that no longer works and I can't figure out why. WuFoo tech support is unfamiliar with FileMaker so I'm hoping somebody here can help.

An example URL is <https://umbforms.wufoo.com/cabinet/a060c9ed-3210-49e4-9882-55cebf863e8c>. If you run that from a web browser you get the downloaded file nttac_schedule.pdf but "Insert from URL" produces nothing in FM.

Anybody have experience with pulling uploaded files from WuFoo knows why "Insert from URL" doesn't work with these URLs?
