Upload File

2min
When using the Upload File request, use requestJSON to pass the required file details. The response will have responseJSON, which stores the file response returned by NetSuite. This action will upload the file into the given file cabinet's folder.
Note: NetSuite has a 500k limitation for uploaded files. However, this can be overcome by using contentURL. This passes a URL link to the file, rather than the file itself.
The File object has the following parameters
Field Name
Data Type
Description
caption
string
Pass the file name
content
Blob
Pass the blob content in the base64Encode format
contentURL
string
Public URL of the content
folder
LookupRecord
Internal Id of the Folder
name
string
Provide the file name with the extension like Test.pdf
