JSON - RingCentral API - Trying to Fax Multiple Documents

Question

I am trying to automate our faxing process, and got it working. However, I can't seem to figure out how to include multiple attachments. Here is what I have for my request URL and body:

URL: https://platform.devtest.ringcentral.com/restapi/v1.0/account/~/extension/~/fax

Body:

  {
    "control_type": "text",
    "label": "To",
    "name": "to",
    "type": "string",
    "optional": false
  },
  {
    "control_type": "text",
    "label": "Cover index",
    "name": "coverIndex",
    "type": "string",
    "optional": false
  },
  {
    "control_type": "text",
    "label": "Cover page text",
    "name": "coverPageText",
    "type": "string",
    "optional": false
  },
  {
    "name": "attachments",
    "type": "array",
    "optional": false,
    "binary_content": "false",
    "properties": []
  }
]

Any ideas? Thanks!

You can send FAX with multiple attachments, just call the below function as many times as needed

JavaScript example code:

form = new FormData();

form.append('fax-document-1', require('fs').createReadStream('test-1.jpg'));

form.append('fax-document-2', require('fs').createReadStream('test-2.jpg'));
