Multiple file attachment while sending a message from bot

manichou — Tue, 30 Jul 2024 00:42:24 GMT

How to attach multiple files with a message while sending the message from the bot to a user. I checked https://developer.webex.com/docs/basics#message-attachments but couldn't find any info. Also, I tried sending multiple files in the same message but it failed. I am using Rest API in python

Please advice.

Hello @manichou,
At this moment, you can't send multiple file attachments while sending a message through /create-a-message API.
This API is currently not configured to handle multiple file attachments in a single request, even if you try - it'd fail with a "400/Bad Request" error.

And the same has been documented in the attached screenshot as well.
Please let us know for any further assistance.

Regards!

@manichou try with the official python api

The sample above sends a message, in the official python documentation section (create a message to be specific), there you can add the attachments=[strpathofattach1, strpathofattach2] list parameter to the create method and include the attachments in a single message
