# Import connected study attachments

`POST /api/v1/research/study-attachments/import-connected`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://point11.ai`
- URL: `https://point11.ai/api/v1/research/study-attachments/import-connected`
- Auth: OAuth 2 (authorization code, authorization URL `https://auth.point11.ai/oauth2/authorize`, token URL `https://auth.point11.ai/oauth2/token`)

Attach a study file from one of the member's own connected apps instead of uploading it: a file in Google Drive, OneDrive or Dropbox, a Figma frame (it comes in as a PNG at up to twice its size), or a Canva design (a PNG for one page, a PDF for several, or an MP4 when its ref asks for a video). Name the app and the item's ref as alpha_connector_files_list returned it. Point11 reads it with the member's own connection and admits it exactly as an upload, converting a file a study cannot read as it is (a Google document comes in as a PDF). Returns the attachment, ready to reference from a study question; retrying with the same Idempotency-Key answers the same file without reading the app again. Connect the app in Settings, under Connections, first. A video also returns its storyboard, which starts as preparing: read research_study_attachments_get_v2 until it is ready, refused or failed.

## Other responses

- `400`: The input, query, or Idempotency-Key is invalid.
- `401`: The bearer is missing, expired, or not accepted.
- `402`: Billing refused the write: the code names the reason and `details.reason` carries it.
- `403`: The credential lacks the operation's scope or role, or the operation needs a different door.
- `404`: The resource or organization does not exist for this caller.
- `405`: This path takes another HTTP method, named in `Allow`.
- `409`: The request conflicts with current state or with prior use of its Idempotency-Key.
- `413`: The request, or the answer it asks for, is too large; narrow it.
- `429`: The credential's rate budget is spent; retry after `Retry-After` seconds.
- `500`: An unexpected server failure; retry later. Only `request_id` identifies it.
- `503`: A dependency is temporarily unavailable; retry after `Retry-After` seconds.
- `default`: Another status a product answers for its own refusal (for example `415` for an unsupported attachment); branch on `code`.
