Hi Karan,

You need to pass the binary data as part of the file in your body request as there are only two ways to add an attachment to a record in ServiceNow through attachment API.

What you can do here is use the binary method to achieve it with POSTMAN.

At first, give it a shot with REST API Explorer, you won't feel the need of using POSTMAN at all.

Then use same request header and attach the file through postman. It should give you 201 status code.

Thanks

Gaurav
