When creating an action for your application in the Pabbly Connect developer portal, some APIs may return a file (e.g., an MP3 file from the OpenAI Text-to-Speech API) rather than text or JSON data.
To handle such responses, enable the
"Make this action compatible with file in response" option. This ensures that Pabbly Connect processes the file appropriately by providing a
file URL instead of the file itself. You can then use this file URL for further automation or integration within your workflow.
Example: OpenAI Text-to-Speech API

You will receive the file URL as follows:
