Overview
The "Files: Download" operation in this node allows users to download a file from the Teamleader API by specifying the file's unique ID. This is useful when you want to retrieve and use files stored in Teamleader within your n8n workflows, such as downloading attachments, documents, or other resources linked to your projects or deals.
Practical examples include:
- Automatically downloading invoice PDFs for archiving or further processing.
- Retrieving contract files associated with deals or contacts.
- Fetching any uploaded files to integrate with other systems or storage solutions.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| ID | The unique identifier of the file to download. This is required to specify which file should be retrieved from Teamleader. |
Output
The output of the "Files: Download" operation will contain the downloaded file data. Typically, this includes:
- A JSON object with metadata about the file.
- Binary data representing the actual file content (e.g., PDF, image, document).
In n8n, the binary data will be accessible in the binary property of the output item, allowing subsequent nodes to process or save the file accordingly.
Dependencies
- Requires an active connection to the Teamleader API using OAuth2 authentication.
- The node depends on having valid API credentials configured in n8n to authorize requests.
- Network access to the Teamleader API endpoint (
https://api.focus.teamleader.eu) is necessary.
Troubleshooting
Common issues:
- Invalid or missing file ID: Ensure the ID provided corresponds to an existing file in Teamleader.
- Authentication errors: Verify that the OAuth2 credentials are correctly set up and have not expired.
- Network or API downtime: Check connectivity and Teamleader service status if requests fail.
Error messages:
"No data got returned": Indicates the API call succeeded but no file data was returned. Confirm the file ID is correct.- API errors related to authorization or permissions: Re-authenticate or check user permissions in Teamleader.
- Request failures due to invalid parameters: Double-check input properties for correctness.
