Using Zoho CRM API, how can I update a file_upload field to link to a WorkDrive folder?

Using Zoho CRM API, how can I update a file_upload field to link to a WorkDrive folder?

I have a deluge script that automatically creates a WorkDrive folder when a new record is added to a custom module.

This is working fine.

Inside this custom module, I have a field called 'Work Drive'. I want to update this field to link over to the newly created WorkDrive folder. I cannot find any way to do this automatically using the API.

In the screenshot below, you can see I am able to upload an image to the File Upload field using the API. 



Unfortunately, when I try to upload a WorkDrive file in the same way I get the following error: "Data type of the argument of the function 'setParamName' did not match the required data type of '[FILE]'". Below is the code I am using. Replace XXX with my folder ID. 

  2. fileVariable = invokeurl
  3. [
  4. url: "https://workdrive.zoho.com/folder/xxx"
  5. type: GET
  6. ];
  7. fileVariable.setParamName("file");
  8. response = invokeurl
  9. [
  10. url :"https://www.zohoapis.com/crm/v7/files"
  11. type :POST
  12. files: fileVariable
  13. connection:"zohofiles"
  14. ];
  15. info response;
I understand I can download the WorkDrive then upload it, but I want it function like the integration so that when I click on the link it takes me straight to the WorkDrive file, like how 'Non-Confidential' is below:
