Automations with Data Download Service

Hi @aquamarine,

 

 

This kind of question has already been asked a few times (although not specific to automations):

My recommendations would be:

 

1. Send it as an attachment if you can

 

 

2. The Data Download doc explains how you can set up the Data Download to run as a schedule:

For this, as you'd be making a HTTP Request and telling it to run later, you could do this with a HTTP Action in automations. You'd then need to set up the emailing (which might be legacy notifications + topics)

 

 

3. Have a workspace that makes a HTTP request to the Data Download service and get the data url from the response and send the email within that workspace. In FME Server 2020+ you'd be able to use the automations writer and pass this value out to the Email action.
