upload pdf from servicenow to Third party application

[AnnalakshmiS]

I'm having trouble sending an attachment. Despite setting the attachment format to multipart/form-data, I still can't get it to work. Could you please briefly guide me on this?

Content-Type: multipart/form-data; boundary=test

--test

Content-Disposition: form-data; name="object"

Content-Type: application/json

--test

Content-Disposition: form-data; name="content"; filename="{{fileName}}"

Content-Type: application/pdf

< example.pdf

--test--

Hi @AnnalakshmiS 

The reason that body never works is that RESTMessageV2 doesn't support multipart at all. ServiceNow's own docs list "Multipart with attachments" under what the scripted API can't do, and point you at the REST Step in IntegrationHub instead.

https://www.servicenow.com/docs/r/eJIqiaxRKVcMaR8XQU6_oA/XoVTqjPElFt41649_Vslfw

Also, the < example.pdf line in your body is curl syntax. It gets sent as those literal characters, so the PDF never goes anywhere.

If the endpoint accepts a plain binary POST, setRequestBodyFromAttachment(attachmentSysId) does the job with the content type set from the attachment. If it insists on multipart, use the REST Step, or build the body yourself with GlideSysAttachmentInputStream and a ByteArrayOutputStream.

Thanks
