How to encode output files to Base64

Important: This output data format is supported by endpoints that generate binary files - PDF and images. The output is accessible via generated link and the file under the link is in the text form (base64-encoded).

Zapier

To enable base64 output, add the following to Custom Profiles field of Zapier action:

{ "outputDataFormat": "base64" }

Integromat/Make

And add the following to Profiles on Integromat:

{ "outputDataFormat": "base64" }

Sample request to test outside Zapier or Integromat/Make:
