Auto-download file that is created by HTML

Unknown

Hello!
I have a flow that creates a PDF document via HTML. I want to add the function of auto-downloading this file when the flow is executed. Can I get advise on how to build this logic?

We will need to use the "Load from File data" step and "End Form Session" step.

For this example, I am using the "HTML to PDF" step to create my pdf file via HTML. This step will output the File Data type.

[color=rgb(127, 140, 141)][font=Roboto][img]att3[/img][/font][/color]

The "Load From File Data " Step will take in the File data from the previous step and output a file reference. File Reference has a "FILE URL" field that we can use in the next step.

[color=rgb(127, 140, 141)][font=Roboto][img]att2[/img][/font][/color]
[color=rgb(127, 140, 141)][font=Roboto]
[/font][/color]
[color=rgb(127, 140, 141)][font=Roboto]
[/font][/color]

The End Form Session Step will be set to "open URL" and map in the "FILE URL" field form the File reference output.

[color=rgb(127, 140, 141)][font=Roboto][img]att1[/img][/font][/color]

[color=rgb(127, 140, 141)][font=Roboto]
[/font][/color]
This completes the Flow.

When this Flow is executed the created PDF file will be auto-downloaded.

Hi,
I have used this flow as reference for downloading csv file but the file is not downloading when I debug the flow.It is downloading when I click the url in input/output data. Could you please let me know what is wrong.

Divya,

This will not automatically download the File on debugging the Flow. If you run the Flow outside the debugger, the File should download automatically. Please refer to the attached video.
