@venkateshcheeni09 You can create a loop for maximum interval and then inside that use a small delay and chekc if path exists ..if exists continue the loop else end the loop and move forward Cheers ---

![The image shows an automated workflow script which continually checks for the existence of a "Downloads" file path, and logs a message if the path is unavailable, repeating every ten seconds.

@venkateshcheeni09 that is the reason loop is created for 60 loops with 10 seconds delay…this will check for every 10 seconds for maximum 10 minutes and if file is not found before it would break the log message should say file found…because till disappear you need to wait you can decrease the delay time and increase max iteration if you want to check more frequent than 10 seconds cheers ---
