Get Storage file action

Downloads a storage file to your local device using a specific path and file name.

Settings

Note: This action is available for Task Bots only.
Important: The Get Storage file action requires the matching of versions between the process version and the package version. Processes created before Automation 360 v.25 must be used with package versions from before Automation 360 v.25. Similarly, processes created after Automation 360 v.25 must be used with package versions after Automation 360 v.25.
  • Specify the storage file URI in the Variable field.
    Enter your file input variable.
    Note: Make sure to use only the Variable option. The variable must be a file input that comes from the process (Select File in Human Task). Do not use the Control Room file or Desktop file options.
  • In the Full path of file in local device to be saved to, enter the path and file name where you want to store your file.

    You can choose either the Variable or Global value option. The variable option lets you add a user-defined value, clipboard, string (such as: enter, newline, separate), system (such as: task name, Control Room URL), predefined variable package (such as: date, minute, day, time, IP address, operating system), or table analytic value.

  • Optional In the Result field, select a variable.

    The output will be stored as a variable.

Get Storage file V2 action

Opens a file stream for a Process Composer storage file and returns it as a file variable. You can use this action when downstream actions need streamed file access instead of a local download.
Note: This action is available for Task Bots and API Tasks.

Settings

  • Ensure the relevant packages are enabled and updated to support file streaming, such as Microsoft 365 OneDrive, SharePoint, Microsoft 365 Outlook, and REST Web Services.
  • Specify the storage file URI in the Variable field.
    Enter your file input variable.
    Note: The variable must be a file input that comes from the process (Select File in Human Task).
  • Assign the result to a String variable that holds the storage path for the file after upload.
    Note: Most major MIME supported types are PNG, JPEG, CSV, XLS, PDF, EXE, and DLL.
