Looking at the postman screenshot, it seems like the endpoint accepts form-data. Have you tried multiple form-data in request body ?

Looking at the documentation and your config, I see some variations

Thanks, however I am getting a timeout.

if I comment request body, it works as expected.

curl --location 'my-url/2 \
--header 'accept: */*' \
--header 'Authorization: mytoken' \
--form 'file=@"postman-cloud:///1ef19fb2-8480-4930-878f-79bbbb7c45e5"'

my issue on appian is still the parameter file

You define a JSON structure that contains the URL to the file as the content. So, you are sending that URL to the other system.

My question is simply: how to pass an user's uploaded file into an external system endpoint

Sorry, do you have any docs on what you said? Because it is still not very clear for me what to do about downloading the file into Appian

So you want to send the file from Appian to that other system, correct?

You cannot just pass some URL somewhere. You first need to download the file into Appian before sending it.
