Direct link works only after refresh

Posted on by MysteryMadMan 4

Hello,

 

i have a workflow that sends a mail with direct link to file. It all works, except that when user follows a link which opens a pdf in browser it usually has to refresh it 1-3 times and it opens it. No matter how long you wait the first time you have to refresh it and then it opens it.

 

Any suggestions?

thank you

    Hello @MysteryMadMan 

     

    Please provide more information about what you have tried in order to identify where the issue may be 🙂

     

    1. Can you copy/paste the link into a browser and does the same issue appear?
    2. Have you tried other browsers?
    3. Does it happen for everyone or does it work for some?

    Kind regards, John
