Downloading a report from URL

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

Hi,

 

I am trying to automate a report from a database that does not have any data connectors to Power BI. 

The only available option to export data is to schedule a email with a download link to the report. 

I created a flow to parse the email and save the hyperlink to download the file from the system. 

 

When I copy and paste the link to my browser, the file download initiates instantly. When I use postman, the return is a html page and not the report. 

Is there a way to simulate a browser to download the report using Flow?

 

Thanks in advanced!
