Adding attachments and links while running workflow actions

The API provides the ability to add attachments or links to specific object while running workflow actions.

POST {{baseUrl}}/Object/{objectId}/action/{actionId}

where:

• baseUrl - the API URL, such as http://www.example.com/api/v2/
• objectId - the object ID (GUID or OID)
• actionId - the action ID

To add attachments, include the Attachments array in the request body in addition to the other field value pairs, as follows:

{
	"Comment": "New activity",
	"Attachments": [
		{
			"FileName": "hello.txt",
			"Description": "Sample file",
			"Data": "SGVsbG8h",
			"AttachmentArea": "Documents"
		}
	]
}

where:

• AttachmentArea - the attachment area name in the action form's definition. If the action form has only a single attachment area, you can omit AttachmentArea.

To attach a link while running a workflow action, use the IsLink property set to true in your JSON request:

{
	"Comment": "New activity",
	"Attachments": [
		{
			"FileName": "https://www.example.com/",
			"Description": "Sample link",
			"Data": "",
			"IsLink": true,	
			"AttachmentArea": "Documents"
		}
	]
}

IMPORTANT: Ensure that the Data property is empty when IsLink is set to true to avoid an invalid combination error.
