I am trying to upload a PDF and query the PDF with openAI.
My current workflow is as follows:
- On trigger download file
- Upload file to openAI
- Message openAI passing in the fileID from the upload as a variable
It doesn't seem like the openAI messaging can find the actual file
Thanks for any suggestions.
Hey @jszwwe hope all is well. Welcome to the community.
Here is an example of uploading a file and asking the model about it:
As you can see two calls are made - first to upload the file and second to ask the model a question while referencing the file id.
Awesome thank you. One change I needed to make was to add the .pdf extension to the download step. Without it, GPT5 seemed to get confused on the file type.
Perfect, glad it worked for you.
