My understanding of the “Wait for download” activity, the “save for later use”[Reports downloads], will take the downloaded file from my “Users\Downloads” folder and save those files to my designated “Rawdatafolder”.
As per my understanding, First step you are downloading a file, it works perfectly and the next step you should move that downloaded file into another specific folder. Am i right??
I dont get any errors.
Can you share a screenshot, does it look like mine?
Rawdatafolder, is a folder created by an activity, shown here. Seems to work fine, it creates a folder with today’s date “YYYYMMDD” from the “Project Notebook”.
I’m on the move right now, no access to my computer, but i don’t think it’s correct using that Rawdatafolder. That is basically a variable, a boolean one, it’s value is false or true, it’s not the path to the folder. You need to move the file to that folder, either you provide the path using the browse button or you use Get folder info activity and on the move activity you will have the output saved from the Get info as Folder path.
I will investigate why you don’t get an error trying to move the file to that variable which doesn’t represent the path.
I looked at your example and its super cool, but I needed to download some files from a website.
My initial idea was that:
If all my files were downloaded.
Then the robot will copy all files that were downloaded
to a daily file.
Your flow uses “for each file” within the “D\Test” folder, but my downloads from Chrome goes to the default downloads folder - “Users\Downloads”, where many excel and other files sits, thus I cant use “For each file”.
Unfortunately, either the “Wait for download file” or “Copy file” only recognizes one file at a time.
Thus, I made a “Wait for download file” and a “Copy file” for each file the robot is downloading.
