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.
