# FORM Butler – Web Forms Upload Attachments

Web Forms provides Attachments element. If it is required to upload attachment or take pictures via a mobile device on the web form.

 This can be achieved by the following way:

1. 1. Configure the Actionable with the Attachments you need. This requires a JSON specifying each type of document that needs to be uploaded. Here is an example of a JSON that takes 2 files, 1 optional and 1 required:
       `[{"documentType":"Driver license","required":false},{"documentType":"Passport","required":true}]`

       FYI: the "Enable Extra Document Upload" is not used.
   2. Drag and drop the "Attachments" component to the web form config page![](https://pdfbutler.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/WebForm-attachments-config-1024x263.png)
   3. Generate and/or send out the form
   4. Upload files. The uploaded files will be attached to the record the web form was send from
