Definitions

  1. A file or binary object associated with another item such as an email, message, ticket, or record. In application development, attachments often require special handling for storage, upload flows, metadata, and content-type validation.

    In plain English: A file attached to another item like a message, record, or request.

    Example: "The support API stores each attachment in object storage and keeps only the metadata and signed URL in the ticket record."
