How do I send a received file (not link) to another system

#1

I would like to send a file that I receive through Messenger to another system (for example Google Drive, but can be something else). Currently, I can only send the URL to the next system.

How do I get FlowXO to send the actual file? Is there any integration you have (like Google Drive, Email, Dropbox, Trello, etc.) able to send the file itself?

IF not with a standart integration, would you have a sample JAvaScript code that achieves that?

Hi there,

Handling actual files don’t really fit in with what our services are designed to do so it’s not something you’ll be able to do in Flow XO but if you can find a third party service that would be able to handle the downloading and transferring of files, if supported, you could send a webhook to that service to pass the file URL to hopefully, completely automate the process.

Thanks for the feedback. I found now a way using webhooks to zapier and then from Zapier into my System. There the document gets automatically downloaded from the link. All good.
