WARNING: Once you delete the conversation with a user in your Landbot account, the files will be automatically deleted from our servers too!

Multiple files upload

Do you need to let your users upload more than one file at a time?🗂

Not a problem! Now you can enable this option within the block's configuration and allow users to upload multiple files 🙌

Note: It's possible to upload up to 6 files at once, and each file has a size limit of 10MB!

Users can upload files altogether, or even by groups until they reach the limit of 6 files.

When the Multiple files upload option is enabled, the user's answer will be saved in Array format, containing links to access the file for each uploaded file by the user.

All system messages can be customized from the Settings section > Custom System Messages > Help texts:

Note: The Multiple files upload option is only for Web bots, and only for Landbot 3.
