yes i want to upload a document and with this document i want to run a process and also return another file after the process execution ends but i'm not sending a straight forward document i'm sending it as a part of the body like in the following

http Request Picture

the weird part is that even if we are sending an xml document we are getting the xml content in appian.

If you are looking for document as an attachment to the web API request, use following.

- While creating a WebAPI use the "Document Upload" template as shown below. While creating the WebAPI object it will ask for a folder to save the document.

a!localVariables(

  /*Check whether the request body contains a document*/
  local!success: not(isnull(http!request.body)),

  if(
    local!success,

    /*If a document was uploaded, return a successful response*/
    a!httpResponse(
      statusCode: 200,
      headers: {},

      /*Print the document id, name, and extension of the uploaded document*/
      body: concat(
        "Upload Successful: ",
        document(http!request.body, "id"),
        " - ",
        document(http!request.body, "name"),
        ".",
        document(http!request.body, "extension")
      )
    ),

    /*If no document was uploaded, return an error code*/
    a!httpResponse(
      statusCode: 400,
      headers: {},
      body: "400 Document Not Provided"
    )
  )
)
