As a builder, I want to decode base64 to binary files, so I can store them as such.

Now with the powerful API Triggre offers, I would like to get binary files, especially images, in Triggre.

The common way to do this is using base64 encoding/decoding. But this is not an internal function of Triggre at this point. I need to use an external tool to get this done.

Hi @ronald,

On our backlog is a feature that will allow you to download a file from a URL indeed. This is high on our priority list at the moment for exactly the reasons you have mentioned.

For now indeed you still need a workaround, but this is coming!
