Is there a way for Appian to receive an external document download link and convert that to a document stored on Appian?
I have tried using the "Document Upload" Web API template without success
I have also tried using an integration object and converting binary to Appian document but got an error saying that my url doesn't match "[*.appiancloud.com, appiancloud.com]"
Any suggestions here would be appreciated.
Thanks

A integration object would make the most sense since a URL will return the document. Do you have an example URL?
With web APIs you can only expose functionality to external. Integrations, and connected systems, are made to interact with other systems.
https://docs.appian.com/suite/help/21.2/Integration_Object.html#receiving-a-binary-document
This should get you started.
Unfortunately, I can't provide the URL as that is private for the client
I tried using an integration object and changed "Response Body Parsing" to "Convert binary to Appian document" but I get an error saying I couldn't connect to the link as it has to match "[*.appiancloud.com, appiancloud.com]"
That thought process makes sense. I configured an integration like the example provided in the documentation but am getting an error like the one mentioned above.
It only works when I provide a url of a document already on appian
