Hi - I've tried all kinds of ways to get the SDK working. If i use the code in the template with fs.createreadstream - it works fine reading from a file.
i'm trying to upload reading from a base64 string. I've tried converting to a buffer / string - all kinds of things. The API call completes, but the status is failed in the dashboard and I don't know why it failed as there isn't further logging. Beating my head against the wall on this one. Any help would be hugely appreciated.
To send a fax with attachment is a base64 string using the RingCentral Node JS SDK, try this.
async function sendFax() {
try{
var endpoint = "/restapi/v1.0/account/~/extension/~/fax"
var FormData = require('form-data');
formData = new FormData();
var body = {
to: [{'phoneNumber': "RECIPIENT-NUMBER"}],
faxResolution: 'High',
}
formData.append('json', new Buffer.from(JSON.stringify(body)), {
filename: 'test.png',
contentType: 'application/json'
});
var base64Data = "...JsHpb9we8DAfN9fUY+h9OL9b4NKMvqwAAAABJRU5ErkJggg=="
var bufferValue = Buffer.from(base64Data,"base64");
formData.append('attachment', bufferValue, 'image.png');
var resp = await platform.post(endpoint, formData)
var jsonObj = await resp.json()
console.log("FAX sent. Current status: " + jsonObj.messageStatus + "/" + jsonObj.id)
}catch(e){
console.log(e.message)
}
}
BTW, there is a current issue with receiving fax attachment in the sandbox environment. You will only get the cover page, no attachment pages but the fax status should be "Sent" though.
