Workflow action: File download

Modified on Tue, 18 Jul, 2023 at 9:18 AM

Actions of type Deliver file allows to deliver files directly to the browser (download), which were created during processing. If multiple files are selected, a ZIP file containing the individual files is automatically created. Please note that this action does not work if the workflow was triggered, for example, by a timed event, because in this case there is no browser to which the file could be sent.
