Hello,

Trying to connect to an external site, do have login credentials, https://extranet.SiteName.com/food/Pages/rRecipes.aspx and download the PDF files from this site. Want these PDF's to be downloaded to a SharePoint document library. Would like the download process to run on an interval time. It would be great to download all of the PDF's the first time it runs and then only download new or changed PDF's since the last run and over write the PDF if it exist in the SPO document library.

I have tried a number of different steps working with the FTP & HTTP actions and I cannot get access to the page with the PDF's let alone being able to download them. I would like to get it working using the standard actions in Power Automate, though if a premium action is required that is fine.

Thanks in advance for your assistance.

Kind regards,

John

Hi @Johnh1 ,

This looks more like a Power Automate Desktop UI flow rather than a cloud flow. Maybe look into that as you can record all your steps to download the PDFs.
