Questions about this workflow
Can this workflow access a private dashboard?
The selected action converts a URL using a simple GET request. Use a publicly accessible dashboard URL; private pages that require login are not established as supported by the listed action.
Does the PDF contain historical readings?
It captures the page available at the time the scheduled workflow runs. Historical data will appear only if the dashboard page itself shows it.
