Automate clicking download CSV button on webpage and saving then importing as worksheet in current workbook
I'm trying to automate a manual process which is as follows:
1. Open webpage (https://trans-logistics.amazon.com/fmc/execution/JA3Nk--CPTs_(24_Hour_Pool)) (don't bother clicking - link only works internally)
2. Click CSV download button.
3. Open CSV file
4. Copy and Paste contents into "FMC" tab of current workbook.
I would like to automate this as a script but every example I've found, I can't get working and I'm confused about the html for the button and how to make it work based on existing scripts.
Below is the full html for the button that downloads the CSV. I can't just link to it as it is dynamic and seems to generate a different link every time it is clicked.
<script type="text/underscore-template" id="template-download-csv-button">
<span data-tooltip="Download Vehicle Run information for Manual Upload">
<span id="download-csv-btn" class="a-button a-button-base"><span class="a-button-inner"><input class="a-button-input" type="submit" aria-labelledby="download-csv-btn-announce"><span id="download-csv-btn-announce" class="a-button-text" aria-hidden="true"> <span class='fa fa-download icon-holder'></span> Download CSV
</span></span></span> </span>
</script>
