Jira attachment - Multiple files

Describe the problem/error/question

Hello,
I try to get all emails from a specific sender and create a Jira ticket with all attachments.
I’m facing issue with the attachment field, I’m not sure which one I should use. All my attempts failed (See the screenshot).

My goal is to achieve the following:

  • Get all emails from sender with attachment (this works)
  • Create a Jira ticket per email (this works)
  • Loop over all attachment and add them to previously ticket created) (This I’m not able to make it work)

Appreciate any tips :slight_smile:

What is the error message (if any)?

I solved my issue :slight_smile:
It seems opening a thread give me ideas :smiley:

Gmail node download attachment like :

prefix_0
prefix_1

After using a code node, and converting all prefix_X to data
I’m able to add all attachment to jira tickets.

Not sure if it’s the most elegant way to do it, but it works.

Hi @flo

Thanks for sharing your solution :slight_smile:
Yes, this is one way to do it. We even have an official template for this scenario, you can find in our workflow templates collection here:

We might have to implement this in a more programmatic way at some point though.
