Web Api with document input

Question

~~~Web Api with document input~~~

Hi! I need to start a process with a document as input. My first idea was to send it as base64 and convert it later to Appian Document in the process itself , but, how can be done?

In any case, the requirement is that outsider starts the process with any document as input.

Thanks!

MikelG Usually Appian should provide the way to send the Document as an input while using POST as MediaType, but as of now, we don't have any direct way to that, because appian supports only XML, JSON, and Normal Text format. 
 
So when it's about Sending the Doc through service, you have only few options left i.e. either Conversion to/from Base64 which needs to develop a Custom Plugin as per your requirement or 
 
If you are aware of the document id, then you can send the document id as an input to a Process Model which can send an email having the Same as an Attachment.
