Attachments API

Files can be uploaded to Aha! as a sub-resource on any resource that supports them. These resources support attachments:

• Record descriptions (the description of a feature, requirement, etc.)
• Comments
• To-dos
• Custom note fields

The format of an attachment is either a multipart/form-data upload with the input name attachment[data] or a JSON payload pointing to an URL link:

{
  "attachment": {
    "file_url": "http://www.aha.io/",
    "content_type": "text/html",
    "file_name": "home_page.html"
  }
}
