Add external attachments via API

Hi Community Team,

I work in a regulated industry with pretty specific and long-term retention policies. As part of an archival process for older tasks and projects, I'd like to be able to add external attachments to Wrike tasks/folders via API. Currently the only option is to attach files directly, or to edit the description to include links to sources like Box, Sharepoint, etc. If programmatically adding external attachments were possible, I could script the archival process to save space in our account and comply with storage policies.

Thanks and looking forward to hearing the product team's input!

I have spent the last few days attempting to get wrike to add an external link via the API but the documentation is very lacking in that area.  Can we get an update regarding this, or if possible, have your team update the docs.  The information around how to create files is very thin. 

Thanks for any information or help you can provide.

All good Basudha Sakshyarika , I have already raised a support ticket and got the answer. It was disappointing, and I'm not sure why the answer can't be just added to the API document, but It is what it is.

If there's anything else I can help with, please don't hesitate to ask. 👍🏽
