> 1. Use the [Create Chat Room](https://docs.uipath.com/activities/other/latest/integration-service/uipath-salesforce-quip-create-chat-room) activity to retrieve the Thread ID in the output response. You can also use [Search Threads](https://docs.uipath.com/activities/other/latest/integration-service/uipath-salesforce-quip-search-threads) with a search by title, to get the thread where you want to send the attachments.

2. Next, use an [Upload Attachment to Thread](https://docs.uipath.com/activities/other/latest/integration-service/uipath-salesforce-quip-upload-attachment-to-thread) activity. In the **Thread ID** field, use the thread ID retrieved using one of the activities above. The only difference is that [Create Chat Room](https://docs.uipath.com/activities/other/latest/integration-service/uipath-salesforce-quip-create-chat-room) directly outputs the Thread ID, whereas the output of [Search Threads](https://docs.uipath.com/activities/other/latest/integration-service/uipath-salesforce-quip-search-threads) is a `Threads` object, with `id` listed as an attribute.
