You can try to do it through custom actions for it > [@RASA Attachments](http://forum.rasa.com/t/rasa-attachments/642): > > Hi All, In my use case I have to send an attachment to an API. Lets take example Bot : Do you have template User : Yes Bot : Please provide a template User: Upload the template of a file. After this bot has to perform an action to perform a POST request sending the attachment. Can anyone help how to handle this . I am not able to understand how rasa\_nlu is going to treat this attachment. Thanks, > [@Send files to bot](http://forum.rasa.com/t/send-files-to-bot/491/2): > > You can put the files in S3 or NFS like that and send the link/bool to rasa core that perceives that it has received a file. another option would be to store the byte stream in the tracker itself though I am not sure it is a good idea. All you need is some sort of indicator that you provide to the bot that you have received a file, unless you want the NLU to parse the file itself for information but that also you should do with a different API, bot should process relevant natural text or slots… Please refer it. Hope it helps @Ayantika1You can mark it as answer if you feel this helps. --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.rasa.com/t/attachment-uploading-in-rasa-chatbot/31677)._
