Change File Name from Http Get

Hi, i have receive a Binary PDF File from a Server. This works, but the Name of the PDF is wrong, how can i change it ?

Thanks,

You can use the function node to change the name. The function node should look like this:

items[0].binary.data.fileName = 'newName.pdf'
return items;

Example workflow below:

{
  "nodes": [
    {
      "parameters": {},
      "name": "Start",
      "type": "n8n-nodes-base.start",
      "typeVersion": 1,
      "position": [
        250,
        300
      ]
    },
    {
      "parameters": {
        "functionCode": "items[0].binary.data.fileName = 'newName.pdf'\n\nreturn items;"
      },
      "name": "Function",
      "type": "n8n-nodes-base.function",
      "typeVersion": 1,
      "position": [
        700,
        300
      ],
      "notesInFlow": true,
      "notes": "change name"
    },
    {
      "parameters": {
        "url": "https://www.computerhope.com/jargon/p/example.pdf",
        "responseFormat": "file",
        "options": {}
      },
      "name": "HTTP Request",
      "type": "n8n-nodes-base.httpRequest",
      "typeVersion": 1,
      "position": [
        480,
        300
      ]
    }
  ],
  "connections": {
    "Start": {
      "main": [
        [
          {
            "node": "HTTP Request",
            "type": "main",
            "index": 0
          }
        ]
      ]
    },
    "HTTP Request": {
      "main": [
        [
          {
            "node": "Function",
            "type": "main",
            "index": 0
          }
        ]
      ]
    }
  }
}

Great, i have found it by my self.

items[0].binary.data.fileName = $node['Set File Name'].json["FileName"];
return items;

Thanks, Ricardo
