Hi @iperez,
Ahh yes, so currently our API does not support importing files via URL. This is something our devs are aware of and are working towards!
If you wanted to upload a file into a files column (or even an item’s update), you would need to have the file stored locally. Here is an update that you should check out about how to upload files using variables in NodeJS. Maybe this will help?
Regarding your question about the time trigger, confirming that this trigger will not register time but only the date. In this case, a custom trigger would be the best way to go.
