Convert base64 to attachment

[ishan.rahane]

Hello,

I’m using external APIs and external database to store file and documents(.png, .jpeg, .pdf, .doc, .txt, etc)
Those APIs are used in Service node and through the bot I’m able to store the files in external database in base64 format.

Now when i fetch those files I use GET api in service node and the bot returns the base64 format to the user.

Is there a way where I can convert that base64 to attachment through script and the original attachment is displayed to the user?

Convert attachment to base64 string

Hello @rahul , You may use script node to convert the file into a base64 string and store it in context for future use. Do note that the file url is one time access. Some examples are: https://pqina.nl/blog/convert-a-file-to-a-base64-string-with-javascript/#encoding-the-file-as-a-base-string https://www.codegrepper.com/code-examples/javascript/convert+file+into+base64+in+javascript Hope this helps.

Thank you,

Is there any alternate way other than the download url link which is one time access?

And is it possible for the bot to display the file/document (.png , .pdf , .docx , .jpg , .txt , etc) to the user if the user asks for it.
