Download files from excel list

Posted on by MichaelURev

Hi, I have a very simple excel file of URLs that will automatically download a file (pdf, jpeg, xslx, etc). The file has 2 columns: "FILE_URL_INVOICES_ATTACHMENTS" and "Name"

How can I create a flow that will loop through all the rows and download the files?

This is what I created but it produces empty files (named correctly), its not actually downloading anything.

Hi @Deenuji ,

I actually saw that video already, it discusses how to download items from an actual website.

I don't need something so complicated as the URL is the download itself.

I actually figured out a solution for my scenario. I set my downloads to not ask where to download and changed my flow to simply open the URL on each line. By simply navigating to the web page the download starts so it accomplishes exactly what I was looking for:
