Welcome to the Make community!

Does the Module Require You to Map File Data?

Did you forget to download the file using the file’s link/URL? If it’s not downloaded to the scenario, the next module can’t access the file binary data (contents).

To do this, you can use the HTTP ā€œGet a Fileā€ module with the file URL that you need to download. Your file has to be publicly accessible on the internet (doesn’t require authentication).

For more information, see the HTTP page in the Make Help Centre, which covers the following:

  • Overview of the HTTP modules
  • Make a request
  • Make a Basic Auth request
  • Make an API key Auth request
  • Make an OAuth 2.0 request
  • Make a client certificate authentication request
  • Get a file
  • Resolve a target URL
  • Retrieve Headers
  • How to generate JSON Web Tokens (JWT)

Hope this helps! Let me know if there are any further questions or issues.
