Create Archive block in flow editor

The Create Archive block is used to create a compressed ZIP archive of multiple files.

Connect the output of a block to the input of the Create Archive block. Several blocks can be connected. When a Source input is connected, a new additional Source input appears automatically.

Example:

flow-file-processing-createarchive-example-1-1

Optional: Select the Create Archive block and use Connect Data. 

flow-file-processing-createarchive-example-2-2

The input value filename defines the filename of the ZIP Archive. The file(s) are automatically connected to the Convert To PDF block via Auto Connect as input. The input values Source 1...n specifies the files to be archived and compressed.

Result:

Compressed ZIP file of the input blocks.

Tips and best practices:

If you want to do the mapping manually, set the Auto Connect switch to Manual.
