I’m trying to download reports from a web portal, which sometimes gives one file and other times two (Balance file and Transaction file). When I click the download button, a file save dialog appears, but I can’t find any attribute that indicates the file name to decide which file it is. How can I identify the file type and rename/save it accordingly? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
try before clicking download, use directory.getfiles activity to list files in the download folder. after download, list files again to find new ones. use if or switch activities to check file size or read file content with read text file or excel activities to identify the file type. then use move file or rename file to save with the correct name

if you are using chrome
Check the Settings → Show Advanced Settings → Downloads section. Un-Tick the “Ask where to save each file before downloading” option. And try
After download most probably you can identify what type of file it is depending on file name or File type or file contents.
