I am trying to upload /attach a pdf file from salesforce to Quickbooks. The action of Quickbooks online “Attach a file or Note” doesnt seems to be working. Generally attaching file should support basic types of file which is pdf. However I am getting below error message on the testing of this step:
The app returned "Operation Failure parsing MediaType string: PDF is not supported.".

Welcome to the Community.
The error message "PDF isn't supported"in step 6 of your Zap likely stems from QuickBooks Online not recognizing the MIME type or receiving an incomplete file reference. Although PDFs are supported, QuickBooks expects an actual file blob or a properly formatted Base64-encoded file—just passing a URL or ID won't work. To resolve this, pass a valid file with the correct MIME type (for example, application/pdf). You can also use a Webhooks by Zapier step to POST the file directly to QuickBooks with the correct headers. Add a Code step to fetch and reformat the file data if needed.
