Last update: Thu Jan 30 2025 00:00:00 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time)

Some modules can process files. These modules can either return an output file to be sent for further processing, or require a file to be passed to them for processing. Files can me mapped, so that a file output by one module can be processed by another.

Map files from source modules to target modules

Modules can process files require two pieces of information:

  • File name
  • File content (data)

If any previous modules output a file, you can select the source module, and the name and data of the file output by that module are mapped to the target module.

You can also enter this name and data manually, or map it from previous modules. This may be convenient when, for exameple, renaming a file.

NOTE
If you need to process a file from a URL, we recommend using the HTTP > Get a File module to download the file from the URL, and then mapping the file from the HTTP > Get a File module to the desired module’s field in your scenario.
