Alteryx App - Have Output Be a Downloadable Zip File

We are trying to build an analytical app that has a zip file as an output. When running it on Gallery, we want the user to be able to download the zip file from Gallery vs. outputting the zip file to a shared drive location. 

 

Similar to how you can build a report where people can download the data:

Is this possible?

Hi @elsastark - 

By utilizing the render tool and setting the file to a .zip extension, this will allow users to download the output file as a zip from the gallery, rather than writing directly to a shared file location. 

 

Update Render tool to output .zip file:

Publish to Gallery in order to download .zip directly:

Great - thanks @taylor_butler ! And this zip file will actually contain a packaged Alteryx workflow.. do you see any problems with that?
