Fusion: Copying Images from AirTable to <Other App>

Hello all,
Appreciate any thought or feedback on this.

I'm looking to copy images attached to records via App Modules that don't provide the "Data" fields, like the AWS Module. A good example would be AirTable or even the Planning Modules. 

The AirTable module (like Planning) provides a Pictures[] array that contains URL paths to related images for a record. In the example below I had three pictures attached to one AirTable record.


I'd like to - 

  1. Read a record in AirTable (just an example) - Done
  2. Get the URL Path - Done
  3. Get the Data value for that image - not done?
  4. Send that image to another application via a supported module - let's use Adobe Workfront Upload Document as the test case. - Doable

In the case of the Workfront Upload Document module, I'm aware that it takes "Binary" or "text" data to attach a file to an object. 


Real Question: how do I get the data for the image via a URL path provided in the AirTable module (if possible)?

😄

I think you need to retrieve the image(s) via the URL using a HTTP module

Sven - this is why you are number one. That's the most straightforward answer!! Duh. Thank you. 

 

Get the record, iterate through each URL to get the Data/Binary, and then do what you need with it. 

Cheers,
D
