# Insert a Node

To insert a node into OpenText, your XML must include the following properties and metadata fields:

Type | Required | Name | Description
--- | --- | --- | ---
Property | Set this or `Node` | `ParentNode` | The parent node for the new node you want to insert.
Property | Set this or `ParentNode` | `Node` | The ID of the node to insert. When you specify a node ID that already exists, the connector inserts a new version of the document.
Property | Optional | `Type` | The OpenText object type (default 144).
Metadata field | Optional | `mime_type` | The MIME type for the content.

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

    <insertXML>
      <insert>
        <property name="ParentNode" value="..."/>
        <property name="Type" value="144"/>
        <xmlmetadata>
          <mime_type>application/msword</mime_type>
        </xmlmetadata>
        <file>
          <type>content</type>
          <displayname>filename</displayname>
          <content>base-64-content</content>
        </file>
      </insert>
    </insertXML>
