STEP 1
Select Archive in workflow
Pick Archive app in the workflow builder [4] - just one click to select the app.
Archive Integration
Compress, decompress, and archive files inside a workflow. Create and extract ZIP, tar, tar.gz, and gzip archives, or compress raw data on the fly. Add Archive as a step in any automation on WEXTL. Combine it with app integrations and other built-in workflow nodes to move data, coordinate teams, or route logic across your stack.

Supported triggers and actions for Archive integration
Triggers can detect changes in Archive and run actions that can create, search or modify data inside Archive automatically [3] — exactly how you set them.
- Create TAR / TAR.GZCombine one or more files into a tar or tar.gz archive.
- Create ZIPCombine one or more files into a ZIP archive.
- Deflate CompressCompress data using the deflate method.
- Extract TAR / TAR.GZExtract the files from a tar or tar.gz archive, as separate items or one bundle.
- Extract ZIPExtract the files from a ZIP archive, as separate items or one bundle.
- Gunzip DecompressDecompress a gzip file back into its original data.
- Gzip CompressCompress data into a gzip file.
- Inflate DecompressDecompress deflate-compressed data back into its original form.
How to integrate Archive in automation workflow?
3 simple steps to make your Archive connected with other apps in automation workflows on WEXTL. Up to 10 minutes integration set up.
STEP 2
Connect Archive
When prompted, authorize access to Archive in WEXTL once. Archive credentials are encrypted and never shared with WEXTL. Authorization will be reused in any future API calls [3].
Archive Access Approval
WEXTL wants to integrate with your Archive account. Approve?
STEP 3
Build a workflow
Build your workflow with Archive yourself or with WEXTL® AI Builder. Connect Archive to any available integrations [5], or use HTTP node to go beyond them.

Connect Archive to popular apps on WEXTL
Enter a name of the other app you want to sync with Archive below. Click on selected app to explore integration options with Archive. If the app you search for is not available in WEXTL yet, you can use HTTP node [10] instead to integrate it directly.
Example automation with Archive integration
Select Create TAR / TAR.GZ action from Archive - this will be a starting point in your automation. Whenever event happens in Archive, workflow will start [7] from Create TAR / TAR.GZ node.
Search for Extract TAR / TAR.GZ, connect it as the next step of integration sequence. You can use filters between Create TAR / TAR.GZ and Extract TAR / TAR.GZ, so only important data pass from Create TAR / TAR.GZ to the next step. WEXTL gives you full control over the process of Archive automation. All parts of workflow are visible on the canvas [4].
Archive on WEXTL has 8 modules for building built-in automations. Explore Archive documentation for more.

Frequently asked questions
Common questions about automating Archive in your workflows.
Archive is a built-in WEXTL workflow node. In practice, compress, decompress, and archive files inside a workflow. Create and extract ZIP, tar, tar.gz, and gzip archives, or compress raw data on the fly. Configure the node's settings panel to control how it behaves inside your automation.
Drop Archive onto the visual canvas alongside app integrations and other built-in workflow nodes. Connect it to the steps before and after, configure its parameters, and it runs as part of the automation every time the workflow executes.
No. Most automations are built visually on the canvas by picking triggers, actions, and mapping fields. You can add custom JavaScript with Functions when advanced logic is needed — but our customers do that in rare cases [4].
Yes. WEXTL authenticates every connection per account, encrypts credentials at rest, and lets you enforce approvals and team-level access controls on any automation that uses Archive.
Archive runs alongside app integrations on the same workflow canvas. It receives data from upstream steps (triggers or other nodes) and passes results to downstream steps. Refer to our Archive Documentation for detailed inputs and outputs.
Absolutely. Archive works with every trigger source and every app integration on WEXTL. Combine it with native app triggers, scheduled polling, or the Custom Webhook node so Archive can react to events from any external system.
WEXTL is an AI-first visual canvas. The platform allows you to describe automation in plain text — and AI will wire nodes like Archive inside the workflow builder [4]. You can combine Archive with app integrations and other built-in workflow nodes (AI Agent, Human in the Loop, Condition, Aggregate Results) to build the exact flow you need.
