UiPath Cloud Studio Email Download File Chrome

Hi all,

I am in my trial phase of UiPath. I am in the website cloud version of studio. I am able to log in to the website and download the file I need but I am having a hard time attaching the file to an email. I have tried using the wait to verify if the file has been downloaded and it says it has but when I attach it comes up null.

Also, how do I set this up in the cloud environment so it runs daily and my computer doesn’t have to be on?

Best regards,
Cooper

Welcome to the community

Wait for download has option to ignore temporary extension please add tmp,crdownload there and check

Then it might wait till download is complete

Also in communiry version you cannot run purely unattended…one way you can try is if you are not interacting with any desktop applications then can use studio web and create a process which can be tun on cloud robots…by scheduling them

Cheers

Hi,

Thank you for the response. I am using the studio web. In the ignore files i put tmp,crdownload in the text editor. It passed but I am still getting the below.

I am new to all this and need a solution fast for work as we do not have time to teach ourselves every little thing.

@Cooper

Can you tell the exception and what did you pass in attachmwnt…
I agree everyone are on timelines…learning is a part of it

Cheers

I appreciate the quick response. Thank you. Sometimes on coding forums people get mad. The error I got is: The object used in the activity does not exist.

@Cooper

What did you pass? did you pass the output of the previous activity?

cheers

I did the file resource from the wait for download. I also did this all in the same step if that makes sense. They are all inside the one task rather than separate from each other as you can see in the image I attached.

@Cooper

Looks like some other variable you used might be empty…please show the properties of send email

cheers

Hi,

Please see screenshot:

I put my personal email in the to when I run. I agree its returning something null but I am not sure where that is happening before I attach.

Best regards,

@Cooper

Just to check did you happen to give a try to aend email without attachment…

And you dont wnat to send email? But save it as draft?

Cheers

@Anil_G I want to send the email and not save draft. I will fix that button. I want to send the email with the attachment to myself everyday. Could the file be returning null since I am on a trial license and not a paid?

@Cooper

to know that can you try sending a dummy email without attachment that will fix the doubt

cheers

@Anil_G I just sent myself an email without an attachment. What can I do next?

@Cooper

May I know what file you are downloading

to check can you log the fileresource path

cheers

@Anil_G It’s a file from a website that I log into every day and then have to put a yesterday’s date in the date picker and then click submit. I have it working through that point. I even show it downloading to the chrome download location when I test. It is a simple .csv file.

@Anil_G Is there a way to reference the chrome download folder for a cloud bot I.E. in Studio Web?

@Cooper

Only by logging the location of the output variable we can…no other way

Cheers

@Anil_G How do I do that? I have to click a button in order to download the file. The action doesn’t have a variable output.

Best regards

@Cooper

Log the output of wait for downlod or get the files in downloads folder for each file

Cheers

@Anil_G What do I put the file location for within the wait for download in order to verify the correct download folder?
