How to use Microsotf Graph API to Upload File to Sharepoint Usign HTTP Request

Help Studio

Hello,
I’m currently working on an InHouse Office365 Library for my company. To do this we are using the Microsoft Graph API to gain speed, reliability and control over our activities.

I have every single important action developed and working, with the exception of the upload local file to sharepoint. I’m having a real hard time understanding how to use it.

On postman and HTTP Request Wizard I can get it to work reliably, using the following details:

Postman

HTTP Request Wizard

The problem I’m facing is that, whenever I try running the HTTP Request Activity, I can’t get the upload to work with files diferent from .pdf

The HTTP Request Activity is configured exactly like the requests above, with the single diference being that I have to use the “File Attachment” argument with a ICollection(Of ILocalResource) and the body format as application/xml. For some reason this is not working.

Does anyone have experience using Microsoft Graph via HTTP Request? Have you ever uploaded a file via HTTP Request?

Sorry for the lack of images, the forum seems to be bugged and won’t allow me to attach anything.

Hey everyone, after some research I found a solution to this problem. So to anyone who is wondering, I got my solution from this thread here:

HttpRequest upload file - Help / Forum - UiPath Community Forum

Refer to the invoke code described by Niranjan_Mahtole.

The summary of the solution is:

Use invoke code to call the API and attach the file as a binary array to the body, with body format application/octet-stream.

Seems like you should just use the Office 365 activities that come from UiPath rather than reinventing the wheel.
