&lt;p&gt;For example, a related action button could initiate a process that first imports the document, and then displays a user interface with a document download link.&amp;nbsp; Yes, it would be possible for the user to click that link more than once, but you could use instructions on the interfaces to explain what&amp;#39;s happening. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Since it&amp;#39;s Appian that&amp;#39;s interacting with the remote system, you can track the interaction and control whether or not to allow a second import request.&amp;nbsp; This could be by either not showing the related action after the first import, or leave the related action, but after the user clicks it, the interface they see won&amp;#39;t show the link anymore.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
