Extract Zip V2 Flow Step

The extract zip step is used to extract every file compressed in a .zip file and then upload it to the file API. 

Step Inputs

In the Edit Step menu, you can add details about the step configuration as needed for your flow.

• File API: Choose either File API or Legacy File API depending on the method you use to access files. Most users should choose File API. 

• File ID: Enter the ID of the .zip file you want to extract. This can be the output of a previously executed step.

Step Output

The output of this step is an array of file pointers for each file extracted from the .zip file.

Example Use Case

A common use case is that you are given a .zip file pointer and need to operate on every file in the .zip file. You can use this flow step to extract each file, then follow it with a For Each flow step to iterate over every file pointer.
