FAQ

Questions about Upload from URL.

What does the Upload from URL action do in Uploadcare?

Asynchronously fetches a file from a URL and stores it in Uploadcare, returning a token to poll until done. Use for migrating remote media or for "import from URL" upload flows.

What inputs does Upload from URL require?

Required: Source URL. Every input accepts a static value or a variable from any upstream node in your workflow.

Can I use dynamic inputs from earlier workflow nodes?

Yes. Any field on this action can pull values from upstream nodes, whether that's a form response, a trigger payload, an AI output, or a lookup result.

What happens if Uploadcare returns an error?

The workflow pauses on the failed node, the error message is captured in the run log, and you can retry the run with one click. Auto-retry policies are configurable per workflow with exponential backoff up to 5 attempts.

Does Upload from URL support batch operations?

Yes. Run Upload from URL inside a Loop node to process arrays. Tiny Command handles Uploadcare's rate limits automatically so you don't have to throttle manually.
