Document creation - Save PDF to field in record

Yes, I'll give you the info but I can't take the credit.  Taylor Hardy at Quickbase did the work. In this case, we use it to send to Outlook, but you can change it to a file attachment field.

 Here is the yaml:

# Doc Gen Testing
#

# Account slugs:
#  - quickbase[CHANGE ME]: Realm Default Account <None>
#  - microsoft-outlook[CHANGE ME]:
#    <None>
---
- META:
    name: Doc Gen Testing
- ACTION quickbase[CHANGE ME] quickbase_api make -> a:
    inputs:
      method: GET
      url: https://api.quickbase.com/v1/docTemplates/1/generate?tableId=DBID_CHANGE_ME&format=pdf&pageSize=Letter&filename=Invoice&margin=1
        1 1 1&unit=in&orientation=portrait&recordId=1
    name: Generate Doc
- ACTION quickbase[CHANGE ME] quickbase_api make -> b:
    inputs:
      body: "{\n    \"to\": \"CHANGE_ME_TABLE_ID\",\n    \"data\": [\n      {\n        \"6\"\

        ,\n                \"data\": \"{{a.json.data}}\"\n              }\n      \
        \  }\n      }\n    ],\n    \"fieldsToReturn\": []\n  }\n      }\n    }\n \
        \ ]\n}\n    \"fieldsToReturn\": []\n  }"
      method: POST

        transfer handle, then emailing it using the outlook channel
