CreateAttachment

Allows you to create an attachment for a document. If an attachment already exists on the specified document, then the attachment being uploaded will overwrite it.

Note: When the file name includes special characters, the characters should not be encoded unless they’re brackets. Brackets must be encoded in order for the call to go through, and all other characters must be unencoded.

Xero attachments can be uploaded to the following:

  • Invoices
  • Receipts
  • Credit Notes
  • Repeating Invoices
  • Bank Transactions
  • Contacts
  • Accounts
  • Manual Journals

Note: 10 attachments can be uploaded per document. You can replace any attachment already uploaded by specifying the name of the file in the File name property.
