Hi Mate 

For this requirement I think you can leverage OOTB activity "downloadFile" belongs to Rule-File-Text, you have to provide the required parameters, call this activity on your link(OnClick) event.

Hope this will work.

Thanks harsh,

I have already tried using downloadFile activity. The issue i'm facing is when i execute the activity directly its downloading the file.. But when i use the same activity in the on click run activity action section of a link it doesn't work.

Not sure why

Hi,

What is the behavior you are seeing when you applying on a link, can you trace and check whether the activity rule is failing, may be there could be any parameter which is not getting passed that's why you are facing this issue.

Thanks Neha.

I have in fact traced the activity.. Its running fine when i click the button :( Just that the file is not getting downloaded.

I have a button on which i'm calling an activity which call downloadFile activity from Rule-Obj-File. When i run the activity manually it downloads the necessary file. However, on click of a button its not working.

where are you configuring the button? Also can you try it with some other control other than button for the test purpose, I could see one more discussion where one approach is given to download the file, though it is related to multiple file download, but worth checking:

one more local change given to achieve this in below SA:
