Hi everyone, my name is Javier
I have a problem when I want to retrieve files in a table. How can I take all the files present in the table without clicking and download them to documents and put them in a folder, I hope this question can be answered clearly and easily. Thank You
Follow the below steps:
To automate the process of downloading files from a table using UiPath without clicking each link individually, you can follow these steps:
Steps to Download Files:
- Set Up Data Scraping: Use UiPath’s Data Scraping wizard to extract the file URLs from the table.
- Store Retrieved Links: Save the extracted URLs in a variable (like a DataTable or List of Strings) for later use.
- Create a Loop for Downloading: Utilize a For Each activity to iterate through the list of URLs.
- Download the Files: Navigate to each URL and click the download button if present, ensuring proper browser settings are in place for automatic downloads.
- Specify Download Location: Configure the browser to save files to a specified folder.
- Error Handling: Use Try-Catch blocks to manage exceptions and ensure the workflow continues, even if a download fails.
- Confirmation of Downloads: Optionally verify that the files downloaded successfully by checking the specified directory.
Sample Workflow:
- Open the browser and navigate to the page with the table.
- Extract file URLs and output them as a list.
- Loop through each URL, opening it in the browser and clicking the download button when necessary.
Additional Tips:
- Ensure necessary permissions for downloading files.
- Customize the download folder in the browser settings.
- If authentication is needed, log in before data scraping.
By implementing these steps, you can efficiently automate file downloads in UiPath. If you have specific questions or issues, don’t hesitate to reach out!
Can you give me the steps because I use Use Application/Browser, Selected Item to select names in the “Pengumuman Corporate Action” section, and Table Extraction. Apart from that, I’m still confused about adding new activities. Because I want to take all the data files in the table and take them all for every month and year.
