Jira ACTION

Download Attachment

Downloads a Jira issue attachment's binary content to the configured file-stash directory and returns its saved path plus the attachment's metadata (filename, mimeType, size, etc.). Use this after locating an attachment via Get Issue (its fields.attachment[] array lists each attachment's id, filename, size, and mimeType), or from an attachment reference surfaced by another Jira action or trigger — pass that id as attachmentId. The file is saved in the file-stash directory as <attachmentId>-<sanitized filename> (the ID prefix avoids collisions when multiple attachments share the same filename); the returned filedata tuple points at that saved path for use in downstream file-input props. Jira's content endpoint responds with a redirect to a signed, short-lived media URL — this is followed automatically, so no extra configuration is required. See the documentation

IMPLEMENTATION

Call this tool

Connect a user's Jira account once, then configure and run Download Attachment from your backend or agent.

import { PipedreamClient } from "@pipedream/sdk"

const pd = new PipedreamClient({
  projectId: process.env.PIPEDREAM_PROJECT_ID!,
  clientId: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_ID!,
  clientSecret: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_SECRET!,
  projectEnvironment: "production",
})

const result = await pd.actions.run({
  id: "jira-download-attachment",
  externalUserId: "{external_user_id}", // any stable ID for this user in your system
  configuredProps: {
    jira: { authProvisionId: "apn_xxxxxxx" },
    cloudId: "Cloud ID",
    attachmentId: "Attachment ID",
  },
})

console.log(result)
