Hi,

 

I am running into an issue with downloading zipped data, since it returns unreadable data.

The flow I have created looks as follows: 

The table task sets some parameters, like the folder which needs to be zipped, for the ZIP file process action. The ZIP file returns the binary data of the zipped files in the folder. The download file action is feeded the binary data from the ZIP file. This return something like the following in my downloads: 
 

PK    V´Z«H[Ï!z A¨    2_ROOS NV_346514_14-05-2025.pdfÔ»y<›k¿.žÎƒªª©¥h«hKX­©5®VMUMÑš‚´UCDdµ„Ô”NæbaaáEÍm	5Dˆ¥¦ªª¤‚¨YH$qž®wÿöÙ¿wŸ?öÞ篓|îOâÉýÜÏ=|ÇëúR¾sÃ|IC[ô°rAaRªèa­Ó¿œF=ô=lh¨y÷éož§5 }==OkÚ£þ}Å

The download file returns a 0 as successfull as well as the zip file action. As you can see, the data from the download file process action does have some resemblance of the zip_file_content which makes me assume that the zipped file data is actually downloaded. However, this is not usefull for the application user. The downloaded data should be a zipped file of these three document, since this ZIP file action ZIP's these documents.

Am I missing a step in the flow that would make the binary data into something that would be readable for the user?

Kind regards,

Mark

This problem has been fixed. The solution to the problem was that the file name of the download file was not set correctly.
