You need to encode the attachment file to Base64 and use it in the json body.

Example:

Content-Type: application/pdf; name="filename.extension" Content-Description: filename.extension Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="filename.ext"; Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64

\n\nbase-64-text-body\n\n--

You can use Python or node.js code to convert it automatically for you.
