Trigger

Why this helps
People ask for the same generated file repeatedly because the download step is easy to forget.
- Turns a reaction into a clear retrieval request
- Avoids searching for file IDs manually

- 5Test with one reaction on a message containing a valid file ID.
Questions about this workflow
Where does the file ID come from?
The message or thread must include the Convertapi file ID, or you must provide a lookup rule in the automation prompt.
Does the reaction itself contain the file ID?
No. The workflow needs the ID from the message context or another supplied source.
