Hello Community members,
I am using the 'Get Base64 document from database' smart node to fetch a document from the database.
As part of the new requirement, I need to fetch multiple such documents from db, create a ZIP file and allow users to download it - all in one click.
I tried creating a web API to call an Appian integration that starts a process. The process uses either MNI or looping flow to fetch all the documents, creates a zip and terminates.
Both options seem to be unreliable as not all the docs get downloaded using a loop or MNI with activity chaining (plus it's not best practice to use MNI + activity chaining).
Have you encountered similar problems in your project? If so, do you have a solution for me?

Hi TJ, We encountered a similar problem and we used the following approach :
Start the process and once all files are generated in the zip file can be sent as an attachment in an email and end user can download it via email.
