Use the Download function card in a flow

Use the Download function card to download any file, such as an image or document file, that you can access through a URL in your browser.

To see the field inputs and outs for this function card, see Download.

Note:

File functions don't support shareable links such as those from Box, OneDrive, or Google Drive.

Enter the URL including the protocol, either http:// or https://, in the URL field.
Optional. Use the Query section to build a query string.

For example, if you wanted to download a file from https://www.example.com/download?filename=foo.txt, then you can express this in one of two ways:
- Enter the entire string in the URL field.
- Set the URL to https://www.example.com/download, then create an input file name in the Query section, and enter a value of foo.txt. This method is easier when the value of the file name comes from a previous step in the flow. You can drag the field into the input.
Optional. Set headers in the request.

For example, if the site requires authorization, then add an Authorization: Bearer {my-token} header
1. Add an authorization key to the Headers section.
2. Set its value to Bearer {my-token}.
You can also set a Content-type: application/image header in a similar manner.
Optional. Drag the ID value from the File Content output field to the File input of another card, such as a Box upload card.
