HTTP - Download File from URL to Workflows

Overview

This Template lets you build a Task that downloads any file from the web given a URL. The file must be publicly accessible.

The file will be downloaded directly to the specified folder using the File Name provided. - If not folder is specified, the file will be downloaded to the current working directory. - If no file name is specified, the file name will be interpreted from the URL.

Running this as a single Task will appear to do nothing, as the file is being downloaded to Workflows and then promptly deleted once the Task finishes, per our security measures. We recommend using this Template when building a Task as part of a Workflow, so that the data can shared for processing and storage elsewhere.
