Example
Downloading a Document from Salesforce and Converting into Binary Format
We can download an attachment and convert them into binary format. This example demonstrates how we can use the Salesforce Download Snap to accomplish this task.
First, we configure the Salesforce Download Snap to download the attachment bearing the Attachment ID 00P2i000002JKFcEAO.
Upon validation, we see the following output in the Snap’s preview.
Next, we configure the Document to Binary Snap to convert the content value in the input document (attachment) to binary data at the output view.
Upon validation, we see the binary data in the Snap’s preview.
