Hi

Once after saving the attachment using save attachment activity we can use MOVE FILE activity to rename the file where in source mention the filepath of the file where it is saved
And
In destination part mention like this

“Folder path”+”\”+”AEC “+Path.GetFilenamewithoutextension(“Filepath”)+Path.GetExtension(“filepath”)

Fine

Hope the below steps would help you resolve this

  1. As the attachments are now saved in “D:\RPA\”
    Then use a assign activity like this

str_filepath = Directory.GetFiles(yourfolder_path,“*.txt”).OrderByDescending(Function(d) New FileInfo(d).CreationTime).Tolist(0)

Where str_filepath is a string variable

  1. Now use a Move file activity where in source mention as str_filepath and in destination mention as

“D:\RPA\”+”AEC_”+Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(str_filepath)+Path.GetExtension(str_filepath)

Hope this would help you
