I am using ZOHO CRM API. Adding records, Editing Records everything works fine except for file upload. There is some mistake in creating request body because files are being added to the crm. But, i can not open them.

Here's the link of the API i am using:

https://www.zoho.com/crm/developer/docs/api/v2/upload-attachment.html

Attachments are added. But i think because of my false request body files are not opening.

Any suggestion?

Hi @zmansuri

I suspect that you are using the wrong dynamic value - body in the content bytes. It should be file content or similar, - Attachment Content maybe? You could confirm this by downloading the file and checking the file size but again, I guess that opening the file results in a corrupt file as ultimately the file content you have provided the API is not valid. Fingers crossed.

Please consider accepting my answer as a solution if it helps to solve your problem.

I am having the same issue. I can get text files to upload and they are readable in the ServiceDesk request, but any other type of file such as png image file are uploaded but the resulting file is unreadable or corrupted. I have tried using the File Content and body/content bytes dynamic values to no avail. I suspect there is a problem with the raw binary representation that power automate is sending to the api. When I send the file that was uploaded to a png analyzer I am seeing this:
