You can pass files as the input to an Automation. Each file is first uploaded to Guru, and then the file IDs passed to the invocation endpoint to use as input.

First, complete the following two steps for each file that you wish to upload:

  1. Create a file ID with Guru.
  2. Upload the file.

The File IDs returned from the first step are then used below to invoke the Automation.

POST https://api.getguru.ai/automations/<automation_id>/invocations

After the invocation has begun, invoke the Invocation Status endpoint to check on progress and fetch the output.
