Update Attachments
Hey,
I've been struggling to use the update attachment endpoint. I'm rather confused about when you use the URL parameter that is optional as I keep getting the following error when using it:
```
{
"errorDescription": "Parameter 'url' value is invalid",
"error": "invalid_parameter"
}
```
```
Could you give me a definition on when I would use the URL parameter and how I can make a successful call using it.
Here is a sample call I'm making:
```curl -X PUT \
'https://www.wrike.com/api/v4/attachments/idGoesHere?url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gYgveD5B-V0Can' \
-H 'Accept: */*' \
-H 'Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate' \
-H 'Authorization: Bearer tokenGoesHere' \
-H 'Cache-Control: no-cache' \
-H 'Connection: keep-alive' \
-H 'Content-Length: ' \
-H 'Host: www.wrike.com' \
-H 'Postman-Token: 508f567d-5617-4313-ba6c-17665017f73a,4740c672-1811-42b0-a028-f0a9c21c2572' \
-H 'User-Agent: PostmanRuntime/7.15.2' \
-H 'cache-control: no-cache'
```curl -X PUT \
'https://www.wrike.com/api/v4/attachments/idGoesHere?url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gYgveD5B-V0Can' \
-H 'Accept: */*' \
-H 'Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate' \
-H 'Authorization: Bearer tokenGoesHere' \
-H 'Cache-Control: no-cache' \
-H 'Connection: keep-alive' \
-H 'Content-Length: ' \
-H 'Host: www.wrike.com' \
-H 'Postman-Token: 508f567d-5617-4313-ba6c-17665017f73a,4740c672-1811-42b0-a028-f0a9c21c2572' \
-H 'User-Agent: PostmanRuntime/7.15.2' \
-H 'cache-control: no-cache'
```

@Sam Johnson I seem to be having the same issue, can you please share the resolution?
Hi Joel Gold!
You can use the URL parameter to change the attachment content (instead of X-File-Name or multipart/). File links from the following domains are supported:
zendesk.com
zapier.com
zapier-dev-files.s3.amazonaws.com
Hope this helps! If you have any other questions, let me know 😊
Hi Hugh,
Is it possible to use my own URL?
Hi Asadul Islam, welcome to the Community!
Our Support team will be in touch with you regarding your question as soon as possible 👍🏼
Hello- Is there an official guide on how to upload a file as an attachment from a URL with the API? I've found three different posts that end with private comms between the user and support, so nothing in the community to help resolve this. I'm trying to attach a file from download link generated by Ziflow, but I don't seem to be able to.
Hi Matt Keyes! Here's the documentation on attachments, hope it's helpful. For more specific questions, I'd advise reaching out to our Support team; I can raise a ticket for you if you'd like, please let me know.

This question is still not really solved. I have the same issue here... and the doc doesn't explain much. Any idea ?
