How to auto download file w/o pressing download button?
Quick question, is there a way in Decisions to download a file automatically without making the user click the “Download File” button? Ideally, we’d like to pass in the file bytes/data and trigger the download directly.
If this is possible, can you point me to how to set it up? And if not, do you know of any good workarounds?
Thanks!

Hi there,
I have attached an example project with the specific parameters you inquired about for a seamless download process. The flow takes in a file reference or file data entity, passes that into a step that retrieves a URL for that file, and then into an end form session and that the file will be downloaded automatically. You can also configure the end form session to download the file in the same or in a different window. Please do let us know if this is a potential solution that you were looking for.

Attached below are some screenshots and descriptions of the process for seamless download mentioned above:
- Flow structure
- Sample form to upload a file in order to be used to retrieve a URL for the user to download during the end form session
- Once exited the form, the file is automatically downloaded during the end form session
