Create a Zip Batch File with Binary Attachments

To submit your binary attachments as a batch, you create a zip batch file .
  1. Create a base directory that contains the binary attachments. Attachments can be organized in subdirectories.
  2. Create the request.txt CSV, XML, or JSON file in the base directory. The request.txt file is a manifest file for the attachments in the zip file and contains the data for each record that references a binary file.
  3. Create a zip file of the base directory and any subdirectories.
