SharePoint Remote Connector 23.4

# Insert an Attachment

NOTE: The connector can only insert attachments into a SharePoint 2013 repository.

To insert an attachment to a list item, the `insertXml` must include the following properties.

`TYPE` | The type of item to insert. To insert an attachment, specify `ATTACHMENT`.
`FILENAME` | The filename of the attachment.

You must then specify either (`LISTITEMID`, `LISTID`, `SITEID`, and `SITECOLLECTIONURL`) or (`INSERTFROMPATH`, `SITEURL`, `LISTNAME`, and `PATH`).

`INSERTFROMPATH` | To insert an attachment by path, set this to `TRUE`.
`LISTID` | The GUID of the list to which you want to add the attachment.
`LISTITEMID` | The integer ID of the list item to which you want to add the attachment.
`LISTNAME` | The name of the list to which you want to add the attachment.
`PATH` | The full path to the list item, including the list item name, relative to the root of the list.
`SITECOLLECTIONURL` | The absolute URL of the site collection to which you want to add the attachment.
`SITEID` | The GUID of the site to which you want to add the attachment.
`SITEURL` | The absolute URL of the site to which you want to add the attachment.

For example, the value of your `insertXML` action parameter might look like this:

    <insertXML>
      <insert>
        <reference>TEST_ATTACHMENT</reference>
        <property name="TYPE" value="ATTACHMENT"/>
        <property name="FILENAME" value="myattachment.file"/>
        <property name="LISTITEMID" value="125"/>
        <property name="LISTID" value="26FFE115A45AF1F1"/>
        <property name="SITEID" value="E11526FFA45AF1F1"/>
        <property name="SITECOLLECTIONURL" value="http://sharepoint/SiteCollection/"/>
        <file>
          <type>file</type>
          <content>e:\my_files\myfile.doc</content>
        </file>
      </insert>
    </insertXML>

To insert an attachment by path, your XML might look like this:

    <insertXML>
      <insert>
        <reference>TEST_ATTACHMENT</reference>
        <property name="TYPE" value="ATTACHMENT"/>
        <property name="FILENAME" value="myattachment.file"/>
        <property name="PATH" value=" folder/subfolder/item1"/>
        <property name="LISTNAME" value="MyList"/>
        <property name="SITEURL" value="http://sharepoint/SiteCollection/Site/"/>
        <property name="INSERTFROMPATH" value="TRUE"/>
        <file>
          <type>content</type>
          <content>[The entire file base64 encoded]</content>
        </file>
      </insert>
    </insertXML>
