Append to zip archive
The Append to zip archive is an advanced utilities workflow component, that appends the payload to a zip file. The zip file will be created, if the referenced zip file does not exist.
The first time you add to a zip archive, the archive is initialized and opened for writing. You can use this append component multiple times to add more files to the same archive. The actual archive exists as a property of the workflow while you are adding to it. When you are done adding to the archive, you can use the component "Zip to payload" to close the zip archive and move it to the payload. Finally you might want to send or save the zip file e.g. with the To filesystem component.
The parameters are:
Zip ID
An identifier of the zip archive. If you want to create multiple different archives in the same workflow, you can do so by giving them different IDs. If you only want to create one zip file, then just leave this at the default value.
Output filename
The file name that you want the current payload to have within the zip archive.
Folder within zip
Optional folder path within the zip archive, for the folder in which to place the payload.
