Currently, Flatly does not read binary files referenced by links in an API response.

For example: If a cell in a CSV file points to "https://amazons3.contact.fileattachments123456.jpg", Flatly will make no attempt to read that JPG. Flatly treats all cells equally as text.

While a number of users have asked for this capability, it is beyond the scope of our product. Flatly only works with tabular data and is not designed to read PNGs, PDFs, etc.

We will be looking for good third party work-arounds we can recommend.

If you have suggestions, please let us know at the Help Desk.
