Add a Bulletin Attachment

POST to /api/account/ACCOUNT_CODE/bulletins/BULLETIN_ID/files

Your ACCOUNT_CODE can be found via the administrative interface.

You can find the BULLETIN_ID using the List Draft Bulletins method.

Example Input

This method requires a multipart form. XML will not work.

Delivering Attachments

When using the multipart input form, attachments are included as links to files hosted on our servers by default. If you'd like actually include the attachment as a file with the bulletin, you can use the following attributes.

Set the [deliver] attribute to true. This attribute is optional and defaults to false (meaning the attachments are included as links to hosted files).
Set the global [bulletin_file_deliver] attribute to true. This attribute is optional and when set, it overrides any [deliver] attribute on individual attachments.

Example Output

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<bulletin_file>
  <to-param>10000</to-param>
  <deliver type="boolean">true</deliver>
  <bulletin-file-uri>/api/account/ACCOUNT/bulletins/10000/files/10000.xml</bulletin-file-uri>
  <link rel="self" href="/api/account/ACME/bulletins/10000/files/10000" />
  <public-uri>http://evolution.local//attachments/ACCOUNT/2012/01/19/file_attachments/10000/foo.txt</public-uri>
  <link rel="public" href="http://evolution.local//attachments/ACME/2012/01/19/file_attachments/10000/foo.txt" />
