    Hi SheryBulos 

    I heard back from our Engineering team.

    While you can create a form and send the non-file form data to an API via http.client.request, we don't currently support passing files using http.client.request. If a customization needs to send files to an API, you'll either need to make the API call from the browser (i.e., an AJAX request) or else you will need to work with Professional Services.

    Hello RyanPi ,

    Thanks for your help but this guide handles creating an integration with a third-party API however this doesn't have an example for form data api (having file attached) and passing it as a parameter to the API.

    I need to make a post request with form data (passing file).

    Hi SheryBulos
    I'm reaching out to our Services and Engineering teams to see if we support this and if so, the example format.
