Hi Community folks, I am downloading a CSV file from a website, and when I open it in Excel, a popup appears. I need to automatically click the Don’t Convert button and save the file. I was able to handle this using UI activities in UiPath, but I need a solution that does not rely on UI automation…

@mkankatala Try to read the file as text and check what data are you getting How are you opening the file? Cheers
