# Attachments

> **BETA**

# Description
Attachments enable your application to upload files and attach them to events.

For example, a job description PDF can be included on the interview events for the role, or a customers development plan can be included on their coaching session event.

Using the Attachments APIs require permission to write files to a users calendar, which are granted by authorizing users with the new [Attachment Authorization scopes](/developers/api/attachments/authorization/index.md).

Files are uploaded with the [Create Attachment](/developers/api/attachments/create/index.md) API, which returns an attachment ID.

This ID can then be included when [creating an event](/developers/api/attachments/attaching-to-event/index.md) to add the attachment onto events, or in the [event section](/developers/api/scheduling/real-time-scheduling/index.md) of a Real-Time Scheduling request.

## Enabling Attachments for your application
Attachments need to be enabled for your application.
