Describe the problem/error/question

I have a 64base for a pdf file from a https request and transformed it to a binary file. When i want to upload it to Salesforce with the node “Create Attachement” the file thats uploaded is depricated. My flow trigger is a webhook to Salesforce.

What is the error message (if any)?

Did you test to decode your base64 on a Linux ? If it can encode, it should be able to decode it.

Dealing with exactly the same issue. Pulling a PDF from S3 and trying to create an attachment in salesforce works, but then the pdf cannot be opened (seems the file is corrupted).
