I have a message object that contains BASE64 data in payload.data, it's a ZIP file and I would like to save that zip file to the filesystem. I did some experiments with the write file node but no luck.  
Any tips on how to do this? Thanks!  
Example of object

```auto
msg.payload : Object
object
data: object
zip: "UEsDBAoAAAAAABGeiVUh79AKxQwAAMUMAAASAAAAY29uZmlndXJhdGlvbi55YW

```

Run it through a base64 node then write to file.

Search the palette for base64 node
