Appian Community and Appian Academy are being upgraded. From July 24–August 3, the Appian Community will be in read-only mode. During this time, the site will be read-only and user registration will be disabled. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, but a more secure, stable, and performant Community experience is coming soon!

The new Appian Community launches August 3, followed by Appian Academy on August 7. During the migration, Appian Community Edition, Appian Academy, Documentation, Certifications, Instructor-led Customer Training, Partner Sales Training & Accreditation, and Forum (for Appian Partners and Customers only) will remain available.

Pass a file as base64 or a collection of base64 type files, as input to external web service to save in Azure Blob.

How to convert an uploaded file into base64 type. Have a CDT to store base64 value content, file title (2 propertiesin CDT). this list of CDT will be passed as input to external web service which considers it as a collection of files with their titles and possible more metadata properties for each file. 

Please share a recipe or example on how to convert file uploaded via a!fileUpload to base64 string?

Noticed Http File Upload option. What is the difference between HttpFileUpload smart service and a!fileUpload()? Is there a recipe for HttpFileUpload on how to call it please?

 

Also, for HttpFileUpload, noticed it takes a mandatory parameter "Folder", but as the aim is to save files externally, what value do we need to pass. In this trying to store in Azure blob. So, what should the value of "Folder" be? Does it mean it is asking for folder in Appian or External System?
