File to URL Input​

The File to URL input is a crucial component in SimplAI that enables users to upload a file to the cloud and generate a temporary URL for it. This URL can be used in subsequent steps such as audio transcription or PDF-to-Text conversion, providing seamless access to the file's content.

When to Use the File to URL Component​

The File to URL input component is ideal when you need to supply a file as input to another component within your workflow. For example, it can be used as an input for an OCR (Optical Character Recognition) step.

Adding a File to URL Input to Your Custom Tool​

The File to URL input component can be found under the User Inputs section. You can add it to your tool either through the main section or the sidebar.
