  • Use Custom Module — Whether to manually specify a custom module name instead of choosing from the predefined module list.
  • Module (required) — Select the Zoho Recruit module API name containing the record from which to download the attachment (ignored if using a custom module).
  • Custom Module (required) — Manually enter the module API name when 'Use Custom Module' is enabled (e.g., Candidates, Contacts, Job_Openings, Interviews).

Output shape

a single binary file in the workflow's binary data storage plus JSON metadata about the module, record, and attachment IDs.

The operation returns the raw binary content of the specified attachment, with automatically extracted MIME type and filename from HTTP response headers. The output includes JSON with the moduleApiName, recordId, and attachmentId, and the binary file is accessible under a 'data' property in the binary output. Multiple items can be processed in batch if input contains multiple items.

Example 2: Download an attachment from a custom module
