🚀 Download SharePoint-generated files directly from Power Apps without forcing users to open the SharePoint library first.
In this video, I show you how to use Power Automate + Power Apps + SharePoint to create a file from a Word template, return the Link to item URL back to the app, convert it into a true download link, and then automatically clean up the temporary file after the download. I also cover why adding a brief 1–2 second delay before deleting the file can help ensure the browser has time to complete the download.
👉 This is a great pattern if you want users to click a button in your app and instantly download a generated document to their device.
