Create file archive

The Create File Archive action node generates a ZIP file containing files from a selection of one or more data sources.

Key capabilities of Create File Archive include:

• Ability to archive files from multiple database connected data sources

• Customizable file names and folder structures within the archive

• Option to automatically download the archive or store it in a specified data source

Usage

• This action node is particularly useful for bundling related files together. Common applications include creating project archives, compiling product documentation packages, and any scenario where multiple files need to be distributed as a single unit.

• Each solution can archive up to a specific volume of files per month as defined in the Product Glossary. Increased quotas for high-volume usage can be purchased.
• Archive files stored as file objects count towards a solution’s file storage allocation.
