Hello! I would like to click on a button on the dashboard that would then trigger a flow and then download the file as a buffer. How do I do this best? Does anyone have a tip for me? Thanks in advance.

To serve a file you can add a static entry in settings.js or you can use a pair of HTTP-IN ~ HTTP-Response nodes to create an endpoint. Here is such an example to give you ideas: Download a file from node-red using standard nodes (flow) - Node-RED
