I need my workflow to click a URL, this URL is an s3 which will download a zip file

[RALescault]

Hello!

I have a weekly task of manually clicking 202 weblinks (URLs) which automatically trigger the download of a zip file (of various sizes). These are Amazon s3 links, and once I click the link the zip automatically drops into my download folder.

As part of a larger process of using the data in these files, I would like to automate this clicking :-)

So, as part of my Alteryx Learning Experience, please offer up your recommended solution.

Thanks!

Under the Developer category, check out the example for the Download tool.

@ChrisTX,

Since you offered up the Download tool so quickly I figured it MUST be the best place to start!

Thanks for that!

I did not find an example with that tool (as almost all my others have examples), I set it up very simply then worked thru a couple of errors and lo-and-behold my download file showed up right in the same directory I was running the workflow from!

Thanks a bunch,

I've attached this simple part of my soon to be bigger flow for others to reference (with faked location and file names)
