Downloading Files via Webhook Response
Sometimes, you may need the ability to download files directly through a webhook response — whether it's for generating reports, exporting data, or automating file delivery.
This guide explains how to configure a webhook response to facilitate file downloads with the correct filename and format.
- Get the Binary File
You can use any node that provides file output, such as cloud storage nodes, JavaScript nodes, etc.
- Set Up the Webhook Response Headers:
content-type: Specify the file type, e.g.,application/csvfor CSV files.content-disposition: Useattachment; filename="yourfilename.csv"to prompt download with the specified filename.
- Pass the File Content in the Body of the Webhook:
{{$19.result.file.content}}
Example Headers:
- Key:
content-type
Value: application/csv
- Key:
content-dispositionValue:attachment; filename="yourfilename.csv"
Now, when the webhook is triggered, the file will download automatically with the correct name and extension.
