Qlik Automation: PDF Not Received (Missing File)

Kaijus — Tue, 18 Jun 2024 06:25:15 GMT

Hello,

We're trying to automate pushing PDF files from Qlik Sense to our API using Qlik Automation. We're currently using the "URL" block to make a POST request, and for testing purposes, we've successfully sent the title text and received it in our API.

However, we came across a challenge that we have not yet been able to solve. For some reason we are not receiving the file (PDF) itself, but only the JSON.

This is what we are receiving

{ "path": "Order to Cash.pdf", "mimeType": "application/octet-stream", "name": "Order to Cash.pdf", "filesize": 390654, "createdAt": 1717415467, "modifiedAt": 1717415467, "type": "qaa_file" }

I have attached the high level view to our automation setup.

Any suggestions on what might be causing this issue and how to solve this?

Thank you in advance!

Br, Kuju

Hi Kuju,
I believe this request can't send files..
My suggestion is to use the mail block.
I do this in part of this video: https://youtu.be/XZONBAlD_bk
