Hi Shashankr,

Hi Jesus,

No, while the bot downloading we are not getting popup window when we manually click download the popup window is opening.

Thanks Shashank,

One thing you can do is use Locale Image Action in order to click the button

https://docs.appian.com/suite/help/20.3/rpa-8.4/modules/image-recognition-module.html

Try to use that, I think it is going to work in that way.

Hi:

Can you use the Low Code Action "Move a file or folder" to move the file from the download folder to the specific location?

If the problem is that you don't know where the download directory is, you could use this library from the app market https://community.appian.com/b/appmarket/posts/rpa-windows-low-code-methods#

Using the method "Get Environment variable" you could find where the user home directory is located, and if you add "\Downloads" you could access to the Download directory of the user.
