How to unzip file in record producer

[premkmuruga]

Hello

I have a requirement where user uploads a zip file through a record produce and submits, the file needs to be unzipped and all the attachments in the zip file should be there on the Record.Can we achieve this functionality?

Hello Prem

This is feasible. If you have a integration hub pro License, you can see ZIP /UnZIP Action in flow designer, which helps to achieve your Requirement.

Step1: Create a Record Producer with Attachment Variable which only accepts ZIP files
Step2:  In the script tab for the record producer, save the sys_id of the attachment (current.description = producer.upload_zip_file)
Step3: create a flow , with record Created, Use Look UP Record which queries Attachment Table, get the sys ID of the Attachment,  then use the Unzip files Action. Please refer screenshots

Hi @premkmuruga 

This could be another way (complex design)

1. User will attached Zip document in data source
2. https://www.servicenow.com/community/servicenow-ai-platform-forum/unzipping-an-attachment/m-p/118273...
3. From there a record producer (RITM) record would be created with unzip attachment

I don't think this is feasible with any OOTB API from ServiceNow

you can try custom solution but it would be a lot in terms of technical debt
