Trigger the Robot to start if there is a new file in directory

Hello all,
i was wondering if i put a file into a certain directory that could be the trigger to start the robot.
is there anyways this can be done instead of scheduling.

Thank You

You can use file watcher

Check this component,

https://go.uipath.com/component/file-watcher

do you know if there are any packages that need to be installed as i cannot find the activity?

You need to download the custom activity from go.uipath.com and use it in UiPath studio

Quick Question, how do it if there is already a file in the directory that i want to read?

as it doesn’t recognize that a file exists
