Base on your example you can do something like this:

  1. Use For each activity and get all the files inside the folder.
  2. Send the file.
  3. Use Delay activity and set the value for one hour.

Haaaaa thats a good ideia :smiley:
I dont need to put the bot start each hour, its just a delay.
but each hour he will send a different file?
For example in the folder i have 10 files, the first time he will send the first file, the second time he will send the second file? something like this?

@ivopath

After sending one file, will you need that file in future or no need of it.

If its not needed then use Move File activity to move file.

And how i do this, but not with a delay… because i will use other Robots in the same application and i need define a time for each one.
Maybe i can send the first file in the folder and then remove him, when robot start again he will send the first that appear in the folder, its an ideia no?
Give me your solution for this.
Thanks a lot.
