Move files to existing folder

Help
1

I am trying to working on a bot which will automatically feed the new downloaded files to existing folder based on file index number.
For example, i downloaded a listing of new files, 1.1. income statement,pdf, 2.3 legal letter.doc, 3.4 internal file. I have already created folders 1.Financials; 2. Legal, 3. Internal.
How I can create a bot will save 1.1 income statement under folder ‘1. Financials’, 2.3 legal letter. doc under folder ‘2. legal’

Will be much appreciated if you can share the workflow.

Thank you!

Hi @MY2015,

We need a reference in order direct the files to different folders. For instance filename containing IncomeStatement will be directed to Financials.

It may or may not be filename but any reference to uniquely find the file type will be helpful for bot to direct it to respective folder.

Thanks Ranjith. I hear your points. In my case, i would like to save files based on file index number. so 1.1, 1.3, 1.4 + files names will automatically saved under folder 1; then file 3.3,3.6,3.8 will be automatically saved under folder 3; Can you share a workflow if possible?
