How to Create a Public Chat with File Upload¶

To allow users in a public chat to upload files, you need to enable two settings.

1. Enable Documents & Collections¶

In the chat settings, make sure Documents & Collections is turned on. This is required for any file upload functionality to work.

2. Enable File Upload for Public Chat¶

In the chat settings, add the following key to the chat's Extra field:

• Key: PUBLIC_CHAT_UPLOAD_FILES
• Value: true

Result¶

Once both settings are enabled, public chat participants will see the file upload button in the message input area and can attach files to their messages.
