Hello community. I’m triying to create an account in a webservices connector. In previous tests in postman, the body of this request must contain a file (form-data = file) for it to work correctly . The issue is that I don’t know if its possible to change the body form-data so that a file can be added as I did in postman instead of this default schema of key-value.
Thank you in advance.

Hi @jmolinav

In this case, you can use an AfterOperationRule to execute the following code:

<Rule name="Example Rule" type="WebServiceAfterOperationRule">
  <Description>This rule is used by the  Web Services connector before performing any operation like testconnection, aggregation etc.</Description>

try {
