I'm unable to Attach Files to ChatGPT Assistant module in Make

How To

Hi everyone,

I’m building a scenario in Make where I:

  1. Watch for cards moved to a Trello list
  2. List and download only .docx attachments
  3. Want to send that downloaded Word document into the OpenAI “Message an Assistant” module so ChatGPT can process it

I’ve already added:

  • OpenAI → Upload a File (purpose = assistants)
  • OpenAI → Message an Assistant (using my CQC assistant)

…but when I open the Message an Assistant module’s Advanced Settings, I only see toggles for Image Files, Image URLs, Model, Tools, etc. I’ve scrolled up and down, refreshed the assistant, and even re-enabled File Search and Code Interpreter in the OpenAI dashboard, but I still cannot find the Files (paper-clip) field where I’m supposed to map the file_id from my Upload step.

I’ve seen other threads mention a Files input, but that section never appears for me.

Has anyone successfully fed a .docx into ChatGPT via Make’s modules? How did you expose or map the Files field in your Message an Assistant step? Any screenshots or step-by-step pointers would be hugely appreciated!

Thanks in advance for any help :heart:
