Actions Required for Article Attachments API Update

Find out what actions you need to take for the Article Attachments API update, especially if you use custom integrations.

What actions do I need to take for the Article Attachments API update?

If you are not using custom integrations that parse the file name from the content_url, no action is required on your part. The API will continue to work as expected with the updated URL structure.

However, if you do have custom integrations, you should update your integration logic to reference the file_name attribute for file name data. Zendesk cannot identify which accounts have such custom code, so it's important for you to review your code and prepare for this change. For further assistance, you can contact Zendesk Customer Support.
