Select Attach (the paperclip in the message box), and then choose one or more files.
2
Check the file card
Each file appears as a card in the message box, with its type and size. Under the cards, a counter shows how much you’ve used, for example “1 of 10 files · 51 B of 30 MB”. To take a file off, select the × on its card.
An attached file, waiting to be sent.
3
Ask your question
Type what you want to know about the file, and then send the message.
Your message shows the file as a card, and Parker’s answer refers to what’s in the file. Select the file card to open it in a viewer, where you can select Download. Select Close viewer when you’re done.
Parker’s answers come from your live data and can vary from one run to the next. Check important figures against Salesforce before acting on them, and use the sources Parker shows to see where an answer came from.
Files you attach stay with that chat. They also appear in FilesBeta in the sidebar, marked Uploaded by you. Files that Parker makes for you, such as a Salesforce export, appear there too, marked Made by Parker.
