Base64 data is supported in the request body when using the Insert action.

To send base64 data in a request body:

• In workflow designer, add the Universal API action (for example, Insert or Update).

  • Configure basic action settings as required for the API.

  • Ensure “Apply Map” is checked and configured. This will allow a Visual Data Map to be used to configure the request body.

• Open the action mapping in Visual Data Mapper.

• Add a node to the request body called “Base64FileContents”. This may be done by using the sample XML below:

  <UniversalAPIOperationalConfig>
    <RequestBody>
      <Attachments>
        <Title>sample.txt</Title>
        <Base64FileContents>UEsDBBQAAAAA==</Base64FileContents>
      </Attachments>
    </RequestBody>
  </UniversalAPIOperationalConfig>
  

• Map the data from the source, or use “Constant” to assign a workflow variable to the Base64FileContents data.
