Fetching file and submitting as attachment

Fetching file and submitting as attachment

With Integrations Hub, you can easily fetch files from external sources over HTTP and temporarily store them for use in subsequent actions — all within your automation flow.

 

Using the “Get file” action, iHub performs an HTTP request (e.g., a GET call to a public or authenticated URL) and stores the response as a temporary file. This file becomes accessible via {{input.files}} for downstream actions.

Body should look like this

{ "file":"{{input.files}}" }

 

For example, you can:

 

  1. Retrieve a file (such as a README or report) from an external source like GitHub or an API endpoint.

  2. Store it temporarily within the flow using Store response as file.

  3. Pass it forward to another action — such as posting it to a Jira issue as an attachment, uploading it to a cloud service, or processing it in a custom API call.

 

This makes it easy to chain actions across multiple systems — for example, fetching documentation or configuration files automatically and pushing them directly into Jira or Confluence, without any manual file handling.
