Is it possible to pass a file downloaded by a robotic task to a process model without using Upload Document?https://community.appian.com/discussions/f/rpa/39408/is-it-possible-to-pass-a-file-downloaded-by-a-robotic-task-to-a-process-model-without-using-upload-documentHi everyone, I&#39;m working on a Robotic Task in Appian RPA that performs the following steps: Opens a browser and accesses a web portal. Enters credentials (passed as text input). Navigates through some pages and downloads a file (PDF).

For our purposes, it is not necessary to upload the file to Appian, so we wanted to avoid both unnecessary storage usage on Appian (I&rsquo;m aware that the file can also be deleted in the process model using the smart service) and extra actions in the robotic task. So, I was wondering if there&rsquo;s a way to access the file in the process model without uploading it.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>RE: Is it possible to pass a file downloaded by a robotic task to a process model without using Upload Document?https://community.appian.com/thread/149672?ContentTypeID=1Mon, 07 Jul 2025 15:14:12 GMTd3a83456-d57b-489c-a84c-4e8267bb592a:6e020bdb-fb6d-411c-b7c8-89f40b141fd9Stefan Helzle<p>Appian does not work with files in memory. Why would you want to avoid uploading that file?</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
