Download a CSV file from a URL in the email but need to authenticate in order to download

Hello Power Automate community,

I need to create a flow to download a CSV file from a URL in the email. The URL is dynamic and changes every time. The biggest problem is that I need to login with a service account in order to download that file when after I was redirected to the webpage. Is there such functionality to embed credentials or tokens in Power Automate to accomplish this?

Thank you!

    Dear OlesyaK,

     

    It seems to me you have 2 options:

    1. Discuss with your IT on what kind of access they can provide. Maybe they can provide you with a link directly to the file or an authentication key which you can include in the URL. I have heard about this, but never worked with it.
    2. Automate the login/file retrieval via PowerAutomate Desktop. As such you can mimic a user logging in and you are tied to the interface (and not to connections with actions like in Power Automate). A dynamic file like is then not an issue.

    Hope the suggestion is useful,

    Happy flowing,

    Koen
