Thank you for the quick response to my quesition. I was just getting ready to update this question.

I did read the documentation, and thought I had followed it, but I was mising a carriage return after the Content-Disposition line. Once I corrected that, I was able to upload the file.

Thank you for your reply,

Ned

Hi nsweeney,

Thanks for reaching out to the Method Forum Community.

Have you tried exploring our documentation on how to upload a file and attach it to a record in Method? If not then it will be a great start to follow the steps and see if that fix your issues.

rest.method.me/api/v1/files invalid table

I am trying to attach a file to a work order record in MCNationalAccountWorkOrders table. using this API I include the table name, record id, add to email, and base64 encoded pdf. See below. I am getting an error thatt the table name is not valid. The error message in the response is "errors:[Failed to read the request form. Invalid header line: MCNationalAccountWorkOrders".

I am able to create a work order using developer.method.me/api/v1/tables/MCNationalAccountWorkOrders, so I assume the table is valid.

Content-Type: multipart/form-data; boundary=--18d6a4ec36e
