Set File Type

Table of Contents

Note: This function is applicable to all Zoho services except Zoho Creator.

Description

The setFileType task is used to set the specified file type to a file object. The file will be treated as the specified type while sending an HTTP request using the invoke URL task.

Note: If the actual file type and the assigned file type are incompatible, there might be issues when the user tries to open the file because this function does not actually convert the existing file type to the specified type.

Syntax

<file_variable>.setFileType(<type>);

where:

ParamsData typeDescription

Note: Only the files fetched using the invoke URL task can be used.

TEXT

The file type that needs to be set to the file object.

  type: GET
 ];
