Unable to execute the File change trigger

Can someone identify the issue please.

I am trying to pop up the message box when the text file gets deleted.it is not working.

Hello @sailaja_teegala

Welcome to the community!!

Based on your question, What I understood is, you are trying to delete a text file, and you want to get rid of the pop up message that shows up, and your attempt is not working here. am I right?

To delete files, there is a specific activity called, Delete File. You can try out this activity. All you need to do is to give the file path, and it will get the file deleted without the need of pop up messages.

Is that what you are looking for?

Hello Sorry for the confusion!!

I am trying to delete file.and once the file gets deleted it needs to give a message box alert that it has deleted.But it is not happening how ever I try…I am trying to attach the file here…But this site is giving me error that new users cannot be able to upload attachments.Kindly assist

Yeah. Because you just joined, that restriction will be there for some time.

Does it allow you to share screenshots of your workflow? If so, just get some screenshots here so I can see what you have done…

This should work by using the delete file activity to delete the file, and a message box activity to give out a message to the user.

As I am a beginner working around with File trigger activity…So may need the activity to work.Can you have a look on the below screenshot attached please

Inside the file change trigger, Have the delete file activity under the Do sequence. This change will trigger the file change and call the event handler so that message box will be popped up showing the message that you have provided…
