IW22 Attachments via API

awguthrie — Tue, 26 May 2020 17:21:23 GMT

Greetings,

Is it possible to programmatically add an attachment to a notification?

For example, if there's an external (non-SAP) web form that generates a file (say a PDF), can we programmatically add that as an attachment on a specific notification? Instead of the customer having to save a file, open SAP, open the notification, and manually attaching it?

I very well may be overlooking something, but looking at the API I've only seen the page on this site for working with Notifications: https://api.sap.com/api/Notification/resource

Perhaps there's a different feature to accomplish this?

Thank you

Hello awguthrie

If you're able to receive the file as a binary stream directly from the site, then you could attach it to the Notification using the GOS framework. Some information about it:
