How to Rename a Downloaded File Before Emailing on Make.com

Have you ever found yourself in a situation where you need to download a file from a URL and then email it out, but you need to rename it? If so, you're not alone. This is a common challenge that many Make.com users face. But don't worry, there's a solution to this problem.

Step-by-step Solution

Typically, when you have a 'Send an Email' module (it doesn't matter which one you're using), you have the option to specify a file downloaded in another module. This uses the file name that the other module comes up with. However, in this case, you'd want to select 'Map'. This allows you to specify the file name and the data separately.

Troubleshooting Tips

If you're still having trouble, make sure you're selecting the 'Map' option correctly. It can be easy to overlook. Also, double-check that you're entering the correct file name and data. A small typo can cause the process to fail.

Conclusion

In conclusion, renaming a file downloaded from a URL before emailing it out is a simple process once you know how to do it. Just remember to select the 'Map' option in your 'Send an Email' module and enter the correct file name and data. With these steps, you should be able to overcome this challenge with ease.
