Not able to use await in then block to call another API in react

I am calling one API.in the then section of API call, i am calling another API. the output of first API will be passed to another API.

await axios
  .post(process.env + '/certificates/upload', {
      "name": "Shruti"
    }
  })
.then((response: any) => {
      filenames = JSON.stringify(response.data.office);

      axios // Not able to write async here
        .patch(process.env + "/certificates/", {
          file: filenames
        })
        .then(function(response: any) {
          alert(' Record updated successfully');
        })
        .catch((err: any) => {
          alert('Error in updating the record');
        });

I am not able to use await in second API call. Where should I put async to use await in second API call? first call is working properly. also Is there any better way to call consecutive API and Passing output of first call to second.

Find the function that contains the statement you wish to await. Add async to the beginning of that function.

More generally, avoid mixing async/await with chained .then/.catch.

I think this is what you want:

try {
    let response1 = await axios.post(
        process.env + '/certificates/upload',
        { name: "Shruti" }
    )
    let filenames = JSON.stringify(response1.data.office)

    await axios.patch(
        process.env + "/certificates/",
        { file: filenames }
    )

    alert(`Update succeeded`)

} catch( error ) {
    alert(`Update failed`)
}
