Download a file from a dedicated adress not in Intranet

Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

Hello there,

on an irregular base we are receiving a notification mail from European Union reminding us to get an updated file from them.

We have a crawler/robot -Adress to make use of:

https://webgate.ec.europa.eu/fsd/fsf/public/files/csvFullSanctionsList_1_1/content?token=XYZ

The token is to be replaced with our real one

Hitting that link will force the browser to download the file to download directory of the user.

I kindly request help on how to build a flow that is...

  1. triggered by the mail coming in
  2. downloading the file
  3. moving the file to the correct destination (i.e. Sharepoint-folder, is already in place)

Your input is appreciated.

Thnak you very much

Thomas

    Hi @Anonymous 

    You could do the following:

    1) When an email arrives with a specific subject, eg: EU File

    2) Make an HTTP call (get action) to the URL you shared.

    3) If HTTP call is successful (status code = 200)

    4) Create a file in SharePoint with the downloaded content.

    Hope that helps!

    Hello fchopo / Ferran,

    thx for your input.

    HTTP Get is blocked by company rules... unfortunately.

    Is there a workaround HTTP-Get (ting) involved?

     

    If needed I need to do a less elagnt way

    download the file to local drive / One Drive rename there and uload to SP.

     

    thx

    Hi @Anonymous 

    I'm not sure it is possible to do that without HTTP Connector.

    Maybe another option could be using Power Automate Desktop: Everything about downloading files from the web using Power Automate - POWER GI

    Hope that helps!
