Capture Multiple Photos Using The Salesforce Multi Photo Field

This guide explains how to use the “Salesforce Multi Photo” field. The Salesforce Multi Photo field allows users to upload multiple photos at once and attach them directly to a Salesforce record.

1. INITIAL SETUP:

  • Drag and drop a "Salesforce Multi Photo" field onto your form.
  • Rename the field as needed.

2. CONFIGURE THE "SALESFORCE MULTI PHOTO" FIELD:

  • Click the pencil icon on the "Salesforce Multi Photo" field.
  • File Name:
    • This sets the file name of the photo when it is saved to Salesforce.
    • You can type a static name (e.g., Site Photo) or use a merge field from another form field to make it dynamic (e.g., {{component_id}}).
  • File Title:
    • This sets the title of the file as it will appear in Salesforce.
    • You can type a static title or use a merge field from another form field (e.g., {{component_id}}).

  • Items Per Row:
    • This controls how many photos are displayed in each row.
    • Enter the number of photos you want to display per row, for example, 3.

  • Photo Height:
    • This sets the display height of each photo when a fixed-height display mode is selected.
    • Enter the required height in pixels, for example, 160. It is a standard height.

  • Photo Display Mode:
    • This controls how the captured photos are displayed inside the form.
    • Select the fixed-height option to display all photos using the same configured height.
    • The fixed-height option can help keep the photo gallery consistent when users select images with different dimensions.

  • File Description:
    • This adds a description to the file in Salesforce, giving context about the photo.
    • You can type a static description or use a merge field from another form field (e.g., {{component_id}}).
    • Useful when multiple photos are being attached to the same record.

  • File Parent Record ID:
    • This is the most important option, it tells Formyoula which Salesforce record to attach the photo to.
    • You have two ways to set this:

        • Option 1 — Using a Field ID (Dynamic):

      1. Reference another field on your form that captures or looks up a Salesforce record ID, such as a Salesforce Lookup field or a Hidden field pre-filled with a record ID.
      2. Use the merge field syntax: {{component_id}} — replacing component_id with the actual Component ID of that field.
      3. This is the recommended approach when the record changes depending on what the user selects.

        Option 2 — Using a Hardcoded Record ID (Static):

      4. Paste a fixed Salesforce Record ID directly into this field (e.g., 0012w000003ABCXAA4).
      5. Use this when all photos should always be attached to the same specific Salesforce record, regardless of what the user does on the form.
