Download Base64 text as file (Web only)

Converts Base64 text back into a file and downloads it. This flow function only works on web at the moment.

Note that if the Base64 text comes from our Convert file to Base64 flow function, there is no need to change the MIME type argument.

If you provide the optional MIME type, you need to also include an appropriate filetype extension to the Filename, e.g. myFileName.pdf.

If the conversion and download were successful, the first output is triggered, and the file will be downloaded.

If an error occurred while converting the Base64 back into a file, the second output is triggered.
