Hi @Iswarya_P1
You can try with Path Exists activity to find a folder/File exists or not.
Output will be return as boolean value.

Hi @Iswarya_P1
Use Folder Exists activity and store the output in a variable.
It’s an Boolean value.
Use an If condition and pass the variable.
In then block do the necessary workflow and in else block do the necessary workflow.
Hope you understand!!
I have check folder is empty or not of each run
You need to check if folder has files or not…if so try this
Directory.GetFiles("FodlerPath").Count>0 use in if…
this will give true if files exists in folder else false
cheers
Hi @Iswarya_P1
=> Write the conditions in Assign activity:
folderPath= "C:\Path\To\Your\Folder"
filePaths= Directory.GetFiles(folderPath)
subfolderPaths= Directory.GetDirectories(folderPath)
Note:folderPath is of Datatype string. filePaths, subfolderPaths is of Datatype Array of String.
=> Drag and drop a “Flow Decision” activity below the previous “Assign” activities.
=> In the condition of the “Flow Decision,” enter the following expression:
(filePaths.Length + subfolderPaths.Length) = 0
=> Add two branches to the “Flow Decision” activity: one for when the folder is empty and one for when it’s not.
Flow Decision Branches
→ Inside the branch for when the folder is empty, you can use a “Log Message” activity to output a message saying the folder is empty.
→ Inside the other branch (when the folder is not empty), you can use a “Log Message” activity to output a message saying the folder is not empty.
Hope it helps!!
Hi @Iswarya_P1
Directory.GetFiles(“FolderPath”).Count
This gives the count
Use it in if condition
Directory.GetFiles(“FolderPath ”).Count=0
Then read email or else inform business team
Hi @Iswarya_P1
=> Take a assign activity and create a array of string varibale, let call the varibale name as Arr_Files
- Assign -> Arr_Files = Directory.getfiles("folder path")
In Arr_Files varibale stores the files in the specified folder.
=> Take a If condition after assign activity.
condition - **Arr_Files.Any**
=> In then block insert an send outlook mail message activity to send a mail to the business team.
=> In else block insert the mail activities to read the mails.
The above condition checks the folder has any files. If files is there it went to then block, if there is no files it went to else block.
If you have any queries let us know and we will clear your doughts.
Hope it helps!!
