Operation Request Bodies

When you create a request body for an Operation, the following Content Type options are available. Selecting one of these options automatically sets the Content-Type header field on the Operation's REST API calls.

Note: You can override this automatically selected Content-Type by specifying a different value manually in the Headers screen.

None

Use this option if you do not want a request body.

Text

Use this option if you want a plain text request body. This option supports Operation Variables.

JSON

Use this option if you want a JSON request body. This option supports Operation Variables.

XML

Use this option if you want an XML request body. This option supports Operation Variables.

URL Encoded

Use this option if you want a URL encoded request body consisting of key/value pairs. This option supports Operation Variables in the Value field.

You can view the encoded string(s) in the logs in the Test screen.

Binary

This option lets you use a binary file as the request body.

To use this option, first create an Operation Variable of type File.

Next, select the Operation Variable in the File Parameter field. When the user submits the Operation's generated Process Definition, they will be able to specify a file in the Submit Wizard or within a Chain Definition.
