I’ve seen a few ideas about how to deliver a data download URL after an automation as well as this idea

Run Workspace in an Automation using Data Download service | Community

 

Has anyone used this sort of process before?

  • Automation workspaces writes a file to a FME Resource location
  • The last workspace in the automation triggers an external action which is actually a HTTP Request that triggers an FME Workspace with a filename and email parameter.
  • Filename parameter is used as input for a filecopywriter and is published as a data download service, workspace gets the data download link and emails it to the email address supplied by the parameter

Any possible pitfalls? Anything simpler that I’m missing?

    Hi ​@ebygomm, 

    The method you described is the best I can come up with, although others might have a better solution!

    The workspace in this article should be useful for the final step here.
