Hi,

I am looking for the smartest way to automatically create new applicants in Personio from external software (e.g. from a custom job portal) using Zapier. My goal is to upload their CV directly to their Personio profile.

Currently, I receive the CV as a Base64-encoded string from the external software. I have tried decoding this to binary and passing it to Personio via the API (through Zapier), but I keep running into errors and the file does not upload successfully.

Has anyone successfully implemented this workflow?

• What is the recommended method for converting and uploading files (such as CVs) to Personio via Zapier?
• Should the file be sent as a Base64 string, binary, or some other format?
• Are there any specific requirements or examples for the file object structure that Personio expects?

Any advice, best practices, or code snippets would be greatly appreciated!
