--header 'sec-ch-ua-platform: "Windows"' \
--header 'Authorization: JWT XXXXXXXXXX' \
--header 'Referer: https://Domain.com/' \
--header 'distributorId: 1' \
--header 'timeZone: Asia/Riyadh' \
--header 'sec-ch-ua: "Chromium";v="130", "Microsoft Edge";v="130", "Not?A_Brand";v="99"' \
--header 'sec-ch-ua-mobile: ?0' \
--header 'fileType: vouchers' \
--header 'User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/130.0.0.0 Safari/537.36 Edg/130.0.0.0' \

It looks like your topic is missing some important information. Could you provide the following if applicable.

  • n8n version:
  • Database (default: SQLite):
  • n8n EXECUTIONS_PROCESS setting (default: own, main):
  • Running n8n via (Docker, npm, n8n cloud, desktop app):
  • Operating system:

Hi @scropion86

You’re almost there :slight_smile:

You need to put data as the fieldname of the binary file in the Input Data Field Name (no expression)

i already have tried this but it will not work since there is another node in the middle.

even after modifying it still not working and asks to contact the customer support.

as per the backend engineer this is due that no file received

Hi @scropion86

Ah, sorry, yes I missed that. In this case you can use a merge node to get the binary field “across”.

See here for an example
