Overview
This node integrates with the Superchat API to download a file by its ID. It is useful when you want to retrieve and use files stored in Superchat within your n8n workflows, such as downloading attachments or media files for further processing or storage.
A practical example would be automating the retrieval of a file uploaded to Superchat during a conversation and then saving it to cloud storage or sending it via email.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| ID | The unique identifier of the file to download from Superchat. |
| Put Output In Field | The name of the output field where the binary file data will be stored (e.g., "data"). |
Output
The node outputs an array of JSON objects, each representing the downloaded file. The key specified in the "Put Output In Field" property contains the binary data of the downloaded file. This binary data can be used downstream in the workflow for saving to disk, uploading elsewhere, or other binary data operations.
Dependencies
- Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the Superchat API.
- The node depends on the Superchat API being accessible and the provided file ID being valid.
- No additional external dependencies are required beyond the configured API credentials.
Troubleshooting
- Invalid File ID: If the file ID does not exist or is incorrect, the node may return an error indicating the file could not be found. Verify the file ID is correct.
- Authentication Errors: If the API key credential is missing or invalid, authentication errors will occur. Ensure the API key is correctly configured in n8n.
- Network Issues: Connectivity problems with the Superchat API endpoint can cause timeouts or failures. Check network connectivity and API status.
- Output Field Conflicts: If the chosen output field name conflicts with existing fields, consider using a unique field name to avoid overwriting data.
