Home > developer > integration development > Design Attachments API

Use the Attachment API to store additional configuration entities for any component. You can use attachments to add configuration files, certificates, custom scripts etc. Attachment content can be specified directly in the request or from a specified remote URL location.

Each attachment has a :runs_on attribute that allows for optional callback executions before or after component lifecycle events of add, update and delete. In addition, you can specify the on-demand option in the runs_on list which makes the attachment with the associated execution command to be available as an on-demand component action to be invoked at any time during operations.
