Hi @Davide - While this might not be possible with a custom integration action, you might want to consider the following options:
- Build a zap that saves the file to the user’s Dropbox (or Google Drive etc..) folder that’s automatically syncing with their computer.
- Build a zap that sends them the download link in an email or in a Slack message.
Actually I need only something like opening an URL in a new browser tab, with a string like this in address bar:
https://www.app.fattura24.com/api/v0.3/GetFile?apiKey=xxxx&docId=123456
any suggestion?
@Davide The problem here is that Zapier doesn’t work in Request-Response fashion so you can’t actually respond to HTTP requests with a custom response.

At last I solved by adding two steps in my Zap:
- Zapier webhooks to post my request;
- Email by Zapier to send the result of the previous step as attachment
Thank you very much for your support

Now I’d like to build my GetFile action in a way that its result looks like the result I get by using Webhooks, that is the object ‘File’ ?
I tried to add this in my scripting:
// Action 'Get File'
get_file_pre_write: function(bundle)
{
var pjson = require('package.json');
var fields = bundle.action_fields_full;
var keys = Object.keys(fields);
var docId = fields docId];
var apiKey = bundle.request.params.apiKey;
bundle.request.params =
{
apiKey: apiKey,
docId: docId,
source: 'F24-Zap ' + pjson.version
};
return bundle.request
},
get_file_post_write: function(bundle)
{
return bundle.response;
},
When I test this code as a result I don’t get the File
@Davide Unfortunately, I haven’t built app in the Legacy Web Builder. However, it might be useful to look at this example app: https://github.com/zapier/zapier-platform/blob/master/example-apps/files/triggers/newFile.js
