Base64 for FileData in Rest?
Comments

Hi Decisions,
I am calling a flow with REST, but I was unsure if Base64 expected for the contents of my file data input. Is this true?

Yes, this is true. Base64 encodes the data within your contents and you should also have a string for the filetype with the extension name.
Edit: I realized I misinterpreted this question. For passing filedata as an input into a Flow called via REST, you will have to convert the byte array within the FileData into a string. This can be done with the [b]Convert Byte to Base64 String[/b] step.
With this string, you can transfer this via REST and, once successfully transferred, you can convert the string back into the byte array with the [b]Convert String to Byte Array[/b] pre-built Flow. This will contain the all the information within the original FileData.
