I’m trying to create and add a Document to an entity on creation.

I don’t see any action connected to Documents so my thought was to use scripts. But I can’t find a way to create a Document via script.

- Any tips?
- Any other methods to achieve what I’m after?

Documents are considered views in the Fibery API world, so they use the [views API](https://the.fibery.io/@public/User_Guide/Guide/View-API-266).  
AFAIK there are no script functions that simplify the process.

I understand.

Would it then be possible to create a view (Document) via an API call in the script, get the ID and link it to the newly created entity?

If so, I will give it a try.

Technically yes, but you would be writing a script to make an [http call](https://the.fibery.io/@public/User_Guide/Guide/Scripts-in-Automations-54/anchor=Http-service-functions--af3e5bbc-3359-4268-8b0e-1023398c0d7e) to the Fibery API, so it’s like the internal script pretending to be an external service 😬

As a result, you would need to store an API token in the script, which isn’t great practice.

At that point it would be better to use the script to trigger a [Make.com](http://Make.com) or Zapier automation.

Thanks for explaining, I’ll have to figure out some other way to achieve what I want.
