hi all! i want to enable image uploads in chat trigger. I have allowed file upload, but i cannot click submit (the icon next to the attachment icon) without a text accompanying the image.
Hi there, the behaviour is as expected,and by standard
because when you throw in the image in the chat trigger, it expects a text as in like the instruction on what to do with those image
it’s the same when you throw in an image in chatGPT or Gemini, you cannot submit it without a text
because they need the text as it is a text/chat based
if you only want the image without text,maybe you can have a workaround like using an n8n form trigger instead the chat trigger and the form only includes file without any other thing
hope it answers your question
I totally see where the confusion is coming from. If I had to guess, the reason for the difference in behaviour is that n8n is not a chatgtp.
Since I’m currently facing the same issue and unfortunately there isn’t a solution yet, I’d like to ask directly how to upload files in chat without having to write a message. The initial command in the chat is “Please upload your file,” but the workflow doesn’t require another message from the user at this point. The workflow analyzes the file and then continues the conversation via a “Respond to Chat” node.
Thank you for any helpful answers.
