Return a file from server side action

Do anyone know how i can return a file from a server side action in my plugin?

The file is created, but i have not been able to return it to the user.

The goal is to create a file, that the user then could use as they want. (Send email, store to database etc…)

set the returned data to file

I built a filestack plugin last month and don’t remember having any issue - although I returned url as text

you need to add exposed states and set the data type to file

then add an event to return the states to bubble with the file in one of the states

chatgpt o1 is very good at coding bubble plugins now

Thank you so much for your answer @mitchbaylis .

I understand that you return an URL. But to get the url, you need to store the file somewhere. How do you do this?

I can see that things have been changed from how this was done before.

I have the data that i want to add to a file, and return as file. (Or upload, and return URL, if thats the thing to do)

I will check out o1. Thanks.
