My response in a previous question (post: Re: Business rule to send attachment to 3rd Party Tool via REST )

The easiest way is to use the RestMessageV2 in your script and use setRequestBodyFromAttachment(). It will put the binary of the attachment into your request body, no converting needed.

Docs: RESTMessageV2 - setRequestBodyFromAttachment(String attachmentSysId)

Hi   Jarod,

Thanks so much for your reply.

Can you please let me know how can send attachment in raw data.

for eg I am using below to send create incident :

[

{

"req_short_description":"test5",

"req_user_name":"fdudon",

"attachment" : [

          {

"req_content_type":"plain/text",

              "req_binary_input":"YWJjZA==",

"req_file_name":"tp12.txt"

          },

          {

"req_content_type":"plain/text",

"req_binary_input":"bmxqZGc=",

"req_file_name":"tp21.txt"

          }

          ]

}

]

Thanks
