N8n <> airtable : attachement field auto delete an image

[Theovogg]

hey,
I created this workflow to generate images with an API.
Everything works fine and in my last Airtable Create Node, all images are sent.
The problem is, when I check in Airtable one of the images (always the same) automatically delete.

What’s weird is my node send multiple images, and always the title one gets deleted from Airtable.

Here’s a loom video: Airtable - Problem with attachments | Loom.

Here’s an example array with urls I send in my Airtable node:

[
  {
    "images": [
      {
        "url": "https://hcti.io/v1/image/37b5c58c-a198-450d-a6ba-1a32d8a629c9",
        "filename": "title1.png"
      },
      {
        "url": "https://hcti.io/v1/image/efd5647b6b956f2e5746ee77dae793367b494de66806f044421bd028c27e2205",
        "filename": "question1.png"
      },
      {
        "url": "https://hcti.io/v1/image/c597060ed8b378ed62472b09f760187787da17a495b6a11180718ee16b6ca937",
        "filename": "question2.png"
      },
      {
        "url": "https://hcti.io/v1/image/0052dbc93411085b9cee47b93331a4e9c4e57163829e3b397deb6dadd4599632",
        "filename": "question3.png"
      },
      {
        "url": "https://hcti.io/v1/image/66181da42ebf2457fe174b8c76a58debd391e2e3952e7a6f3188ed1e2d350ff8",
        "filename": "question4.png"
      },
      {
        "url": "https://hcti.io/v1/image/ed6e6c7aec197f5be5546cb4f01b96be83904c26800107e1b221dd311bdb5ecc",

      }
    ]
  }

Hey @Theovogg,

I have had a play and I have not been able to reproduce this, Do you have any worklfows in Airtable itself under Automations? What happens if you give the image a different name as well does that also cause it to be deleted?

I solved the problem by reducing my image size.
