Hey everyone, I have an API Workflow that returns a Base64 encoded audio file which I want to save to Bubble. I can’t seem to find a way of decrypting the base64 down to a MP3 and saving it as part of a workflow, there are a few plugins but seem to be client side only. Bubble seems to support enc…

Hello @jamesdevonport , As I understood, you are trying to save a file. Take a look at the following link, please: [image] Introduction Welcome to the Bubble Docs. [image] You need to send that content to an API workflow that is waiting for a file: [image…

I’m attempting to write a new plugin to do this, I’ll release it back to the community if I can get it working. I’m currently trying to get the following working as a server side action to decrypt the base64 string and return a file but it’s not working. Does anyone have any suggestions what I mig…

Hi @jamesdevonport , I think that @lottemint.md Sergey can give you an help on that, as I will need it in the future also. In my case “application Octet/Stream” for a wav file didn’t work too.

@JohnMark @lottemint.md Thanks both for the help on this, looks promising! I’ll have another go based on this and let you know how I get on :+1:

@JohnMark @lottemint.md Thanks so much, followed these steps and it works perfectly! No need for a plugin now I can do it all through API Workflows :smiley:

Hi It could explain how to set up the entire flow in Bubble. I have a similar problem. I’m trying to get email attachments via the gmail API. I cannot convert and save attachments received as a base64 string. I tried to follow the previous information, but I couldn’t get it to work. Thanks

I cannot seem to replicate this functionality. I have an API returning a base64 image. I can’t seem to get Bubble to accept it. Does anyone have any more in-depth instructions on how to use an API workflow to accomplish this?

@jamesdevonport @JohnMark @lottemint.md Any ideas what I’m doing wrong here? [Screen Shot 2021-01-23 at 3.24.06 PM] [Screen Shot 2021-01-23 at 3.24.33 PM] Called by API Connector: [Screen Shot 2021-01-23 at 3.22.40 PM] Initialize gives this error: [Screen Shot 2021-01-23 at 3.22.22 PM]

Thanks! Question about the endpoint you are calling: [WebsiteHomeUrl]fileupload Is that built in or is that an API backend workflow you’ve created? When I try this, I get this error upon initialization: "There was an issue setting up your call. Raw response for the API Status code 400 {“status…

Ok, wow. Instead of my own API endpoint, I tried it out at the website_home_url/fileupload and hello built-in undocumented feature! Thanks for pointing it out!

Look at my plugin https://bubble.io/plugin/screenshot-generator-1610471760948x573297415344619500 and then the api menu. It makes uploading very easy using base64
