Exporting Media & Files to a ZIP

ZIP export lets you choose which CollectContent image and attachment fields to include, then run a job to generate a downloadable ZIP.

Before setting up this integration, it is a good idea to read Understanding Integrations first.

Build the export flow

Exporting media as a ZIP uses an integration flow built from nested actions. You construct the flow you need so it can match the export you want, with blocks nested inside one another to provide the flexibility the integration needs.

1. Open the Integrations: Select Integrations in the project navigation.
2. Open the media ZIP integration: Choose the integration you want to configure.
3. Add a top-level action: Start with For each piece of content. This is the first block in the flow and lets you choose which content is included in the export.
4. Filter the content to export: Use one or more filters to choose which content is included: Content Name, Folder, Assignees, Workflow Status and Template.
5. Build the flow you need: Add the nested actions required for your integration. The flow is flexible, so you construct it to match the export you want.
6. Nest blocks as needed: Common nested actions include:
   • For each entry in a repeatable group
   • If a field has a specific value
   • Download media
7. Keep nesting as needed: Add blocks inside other blocks in the order required by your integration.
8. Save integration settings: Select Save Integration.

Available blocks

The media ZIP integration is built from a small set of blocks, and you combine them to shape the export you need. The available blocks depend on where they are nested in the flow, so you build the structure that matches the export you want.

• For each piece of Content: A block that lets you select which of your CollectContent items should be included in the integration. You can use one or more filters to choose which content is included: Content Name, Folder, Assignees, Workflow Status and Template.
• For each entry in a repeatable group: A nested helper block for iterating over repeated values.
• If a field has a specific value: A nested conditional block that only continues when the field matches the value you need.
• Download media: The block that adds media files to the ZIP. You can choose a template field, repeated group field or no value, which does not include that file in the ZIP.

Exported content

Files in the ZIP are named using a combination of the item name and field label (e.g. blog-post-hero-image.jpg) to help identify where each asset came from.

Run the integration

1. Save the integration: Select Save Integration.
2. Run the job: Start the integration job from CollectContent.
3. Wait for completion: The ZIP prepares in the background.
4. Download the ZIP: If the job succeeds, a download link appears beneath the job.

If a job fails, review the logs and follow Investigating Failed Integrations. Pleas see Running Integrations for more information.
