Target Audience

This workflow is ideal for:
- Developers looking to automate file retrieval and response processes through webhooks.
- Businesses needing to deliver files (like PDFs) to clients or users automatically upon request.
- Data Analysts who require quick access to specific documents via a simple API call.
- Technical Teams wanting to integrate webhook functionalities into their existing systems for enhanced workflow efficiency.

Problem Solved

This workflow addresses the challenge of manually handling file requests by automating the retrieval and delivery of binary files via webhooks. It eliminates the need for users to navigate through multiple steps to obtain documents, providing a seamless experience by allowing users to receive files directly in response to their requests.

Workflow Steps

  • On GET request: The workflow is initiated when a GET request is made to the specified webhook endpoint (/download-pdf).
    2. Fetch binary file: Upon receiving the request, the workflow fetches a binary PDF file from the specified URL (https://www.deutschebahn.com/resource/blob/8813300/bdf106f07186f66e4448f95aca02bd4a/Faktenblatt-ICE-L_Mai23-data.pdf). This file is retrieved as a binary response to ensure it can be sent as an attachment.
    3. Respond with attachment: Finally, the workflow responds to the original GET request by sending the fetched PDF file back to the requester as an attachment, with a dynamically generated filename that includes the current date.
  • Customization Guide

    Users can customize this workflow by:
    - Changing the URL: Modify the url parameter in the Fetch binary file node to point to any other file you wish to retrieve.
    - Adjusting the response filename: Update the content-disposition header in the Respond with attachment node to customize the filename format or include different date formats.
    - Adding additional nodes: Integrate more nodes to process the binary file further or to handle different request types and responses.
    - Modifying webhook path: Change the path parameter in the On GET request node to create different endpoints for various documents.
