Retrieve a file linked to a device update
When a device update includes a file URL, retrieve its content as the first step in a file handling workflow.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Download File
Download a file from its URL.
Why this helps
A file link is not the same as file content, which later upload steps need to store it in Bubble.
- Retrieve file content from a supplied URL
- Prepare content for a later Bubble upload step
- Handle file retrieval as part of a webhook workflow
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Adafruit IO and Bubble once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3Tell Notis to download the file from the URL included in each relevant webhook request.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and a report channel.
- 5Test with one real URL and confirm the retrieved content is suitable for your next step.
Questions about this workflow
Does downloading store the file in Bubble?
No. Download File retrieves file content and obtains an S3 key for subsequent upload tests. Use Upload File to store arbitrary files in Bubble.
Where does the URL come from?
Your webhook sender must include the file URL in its request.
