Save File

This action saves a file to your table. The file is saved in the form of a url that triggers download when you click on that url.

Trigger download before Save File logic kicks in

First, you need to trigger download before this building block. This means that you have to 'guide' your TaskBot to the actual download first. For example, in most cases, you would first have to click on a download button by using the building block Click Web Element.

Where is the file downloaded?

The file url will be saved to the variable or table column that you referenced in the Save File building block.

You can then reference Upload File building block to the same variable / table column and the file can be automatically uploaded someplace else. See Upload.

Apart from saving the file url to the variable / table column, your TaskBot will also download and save it to your Downloads folder. (Note: You currently cannot select any other folder to download the file to. Also, downloading to the Downloads folder is currently not supported on Linux.)

You can also click on the file url in the variable / table column after the TaskBot run finished, and this will trigger download to your computer.
