Hi Nehal,

Thanks for responding , but the link you shared talks about sending using DataLoader.

I want to know the request body for sending the CSV file. I am writing a Rest API to push multiple attachments to SF. I have created the CSV file as explained, but how to send that file. what should be the URL(end point)?  should I have to create any job? what should be my request body?

Looking for any help. 
Thanks in advance!

Hi Nehal,

Thanks for the reply, but I have done with sending the data using CSV to SF objects.
Now I need to send the attachments(as PDF/JPEG image) in bulk.

so for that I am not sure about the CSV structure (i.e. for sending the attachments only) and what should be the URI for this case.
Because it doesnot work same for the attachments as for sending the fields value of an object using CSV (like account/contact etc).

Hope I am a little bit clear now.

Thanks in advance!
