Send attachment data to external system using Rest API in JSON format.

[Bandaru Sree Le]

Hi Team,

I need to send attachment data to external system in JSON format. How can I do it?

Should I also encode data to base64 in this case?

Please help me!

Thank You

Hi,

yes in most integrations the file attachment content is passed as base64Encoded data so that 3rd party can decode it at their side.

check these links for example

Thanks for your reply @Ankur Bawiskar.

So, can't we send data in JSON format?

[Ankur Bawiskar]

yes inside the JSON request only you have to include the base64Encoded data

Example:

{

"file_name":"Resume.docx",

"content-type":"application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document",

"base64Data":"base64EncodedData"

}
