I have a zap that receives an email with Email by Zapier and has multiple attachments. How can I download each attachment separately? Right now I don’t have a file URL or anything, just an hydrate string that I don’t know how to use. There is also raw_file_pointer with a key and the file name.

Hi
I’m afraid that the short answer here is that it’s not possible to get multiple attachments as single files using the Email by Zapier app.

yes, but how can I download it? The attachments returns me an hydrate string.

I was trying to CloudConvert, but it just creates a blank file with the hydrate string. Then I tried to use python to get the files separately, but since I don’t have an URL, I can’t do that either.
