    ??? I am really confused ??? I have the feeling that we have a lengthy conversation based on a pile of missing information, wrong assumptions and misunderstandings.

    Is that file stored in Appian, or not?

    What do you mean with "downloaded to desktop" ? An integration can't do that ?!?

    What do you mean with "just includes the same thing we see on the success screen"?

    1. I test the integration it returns an output which I already showed. -(Which is just the details of the document , name , last modified, number of records etc) . At this point I'm not seeing the document. 

    2. it saved A document in A appian folder I open that file is NOT the .GZ file is just a file with the body ouput which is just again , name , last modified, number of records etc) NOT the actual data inside the document.

    3. What I'm trying to do is get that document that the integration is returning , the actual .gz file is what I need. I'm asking if appian has a way of either saving it directly on appian or just downloading it to my desktop when I call the integration.

    1) You can't see the "document" in the output because Appian stores files directly into the folder you provide.

    2) That response body seems to be a JSON structure.. Did you try to configure the integration to work with JSON, similar to the screenshot I shared?

    3) An integration in Appian cannot store anything to your desktop.

     If I don't select what you showed at the beginning it doesn't save any file. 

    just don't know why is saving the same details as the output, not the actual data of the document.
