Best answer

Can I automate opening a link, entering a password, downloading a PDF, and saving it to Google Drive?

Davwoe

What i want to do:

I want to create an automation that:

Opens Mail → Clicks on Link in Mail that opens a website → Enters password in the Website → Downloads PDF → Saves PDF in GDrive

The Link is a gateway Link.

Problem

I cant find anything that says its possible to open a link and enter the password. I only found articles to interact with download links.

 

How can i create this automation?

Hi @Davwoe 

Good question.

Generally that type of automation involves front end scripting for RPA (robotic process automation) in browsers. (e.g. UiPath)

Zaps are mostly back end automation sending data between apps.

Hey, thanks for the reply. I just found axiom.ai. Maybe I can do that with their solution.
