Collect files from a browser task when someone requests them
Send the task details through a webhook and have Notis run the browser script. Browserless can return files Chromium downloads during the run.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Download file using Puppeteer script
Downloads files saved by Chrome during a browser automation script.
Why this helps
A browser task that downloads a file can leave the result buried in a manual process instead of attached to the request.
- Tie downloaded files to a specific request
- Avoid managing browser infrastructure yourself
- Keep run reporting in a channel you choose

- 3Describe the site, browser steps, and expected downloaded file in one instruction.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real, permitted download and confirm the file is returned.
Questions about this workflow
What files does this action return?
It returns files Chromium downloaded while the supplied Puppeteer code executes in the fresh download directory.
Can this download protected or private files?
Only use sites and files you are authorized to access. The action runs browser code, and its success depends on the site's behavior and access requirements.
