Question

Base64 to File

03:03 Aug 15, 2024

Hello

It is posible to save a file in creatio from a base64 string? I have a web service that allows me to request a document by an id to an external service and it responds with the document in a base64 string, so I would like to know if it is possible to convert that string into the file and save it in some record on the platform.

Thank you

Something like this should work:

var base64FileString = Get&lt;string&gt;("Base64File");
var accountId = Get&lt;Guid&gt;("AccountId");
 
var attachFileType = new Guid("529bc2f8-0ee0-df11-971b-001d60e938c6");
var fileName = "SomeFile.docx" // set proper file type in file name
 
var entity = UserConnection.EntitySchemaManager.GetInstanceByName("AccountFile");
var fileEntity = entity.CreateEntity(UserConnection);
fileEntity.SetDefColumnValues();
fileEntity.SetColumnValue("AccountId", accountId);
fileEntity.SetColumnValue("TypeId", attachFileType);
fileEntity.SetColumnValue("Name",fileName);
fileEntity.SetBytesValue("Data", Convert.FromBase64String(base64FileString));
fileEntity.Save();
