Hello Community,
I am working on a Make scenario to embed images from my Dropbox into social media posts through Buffer.com. However, I’ve encountered the following problem:
The images are only accepted as URLs, and I am unable to automatically upload them “physically” from Dropbox to Buffer. This means I can’t pass the images as files (e.g., to Facebook) through Buffer.
Using an HTTP module in Make, I can successfully download the image from Dropbox, and the binary data is available. However, this binary data cannot be used in the Buffer module “Create a Status Update.” Buffer only accepts links, and I have not found a way to transmit the “physical” image to Buffer.
Is there a solution to upload the actual image to Buffer?
Thank you in advance for your help!
Best regards,
Stephan
