You can easily download files using a normal integration object.

Hi Stefan , I just have the URL of the attachment like for example  

https://abc/mailing/download_file/?msg_id=1111111&user=abccc@

when I copy this link to browser , it automatically gets downloaded.

In your scenario I don't have the document name to pass

Just leave the field empty. Appian will try its best to get the name right.

The browser check the HTTP headers for the filename and names the file accordingly. You can do the same as a second step after the download.

The header to look for is described here.
