How to handle image fields in Mail Merge using Deluge Script?
To achieve this, you need to provide a Public URL for the image fields. Zoho Writer only accepts Public URL.
If you only have image file object and not a public url, then follow the below steps;
1. Upload image to WorkDrive:
Use the below script and upload the image to WorkDrive;
workdrive_folder_id = "g576*****";
responseData = zoho.workdrive.uploadFile(image1,workdrive_folder_id,image1.getFileName(),true,"writermerge"); //writermerge -> connection name
workdrive_resourceid = "";
if(responseData != null){
responseList = responseData.get("data");
responseData = responseList.get(0);
workdrive_resourceid = responseData.get("attributes").get("resource_id");
}
2. Create an external download link:
Use the below script to create an external download link for the image from WorkDrive.
attribute = Map();
attribute.put("resource_id",workdrive_resourceid); //workdrive document resource id
attribute.put("allow_download",true);
attribute.put("request_user_data",false);
attribute.put("link_name","sample_link");
attribute.put("expiration_date","2021-12-12");
attributeMap = Map();
attributeMap.put("attributes",attribute);
attributeMap.put("type","links");
param = Map();
param.put("data",attributeMap);
paramString = param.toString();
mp = Map();
mp.put("Accept","application/vnd.api+json");
makeExternalLink = invokeurl
[
type :POST
parameters:paramString
headers:mp
connection:"writermerge"
];
info makeExternalLink;
linkobj = Map();
linkobj = makeExternalLink.get("data");
downloadlink = "";
if(linkobj != null)
{
constructURl = linkobj.get("attributes").get("download_url");
downloadlink = constructURl + "?directDownload=True"; //writer merge with this value
}
Sample downloadlink:
The highlighted 'download link' in the response can be used as the image field input value.
