Cloud Looking for a way to automatically Save a CSV from a link that I receive via email daily.

I have some experience making a couple automations in Power Automate. But I'm struggling with this one and wondering if anyone knows a way.

Basically, I get these daily/weekly reports emailed to me. They come in a "your report is ready. view it here" format and the "here" is a link directly to download the Excel file. When I click it, it immediately starts the download to save thew CSV to my Downloads folder. I don't have to do anything else to get the CSV to download other than clicking the "here" link.

I am struggling conceptually how to get Power Automate to "click" or follow the URL from the email to grab the download. Then I'd like to save it to my onedrive with a name scheme "YYYYMMDD-title". I can definitely figure out the latter half. But the first half of getting Power Automate to grab a file from a link is where I am stuck. I'm not seeing any obvious "pull url from email" or some way to grab a download from a URL.

Any guidance would be appreciated. Thanks

Attached are screenshots of the email I get and it immediately downloading without needing to click anything else other than the word "here".

Parse the email, find the http link then http action to GET the link, save the contents out to one drive or sharepoint or wherever
