Unable to share workflow file with team for them to run

Help Studio

Hello! I’ve built a workflow that is working well on my system with no errors. It is linked to a shared email inbox. However, when I send a zip file of the workflow folder to my team members who also have access to the same email, it spits out weird errors.

One is “outlook mail folder not found” even though the folder in question is “Inbox”, or another one throws out that the path of a file isn’t found (even though it works when I run it).

Is there a better way to share a workflow with my team members for them to be able to use it?

Hi @Anushka_Purohit

Which activity you are you using to send mails.

@Anushka_Purohit

Few reasons

  1. The name is different due to the language settings
  2. ⁠if it is shared mailbox for few configuring account works for few accountname\folder works
  3. Also to run publish the process and run as attended user

  • Ensure Consistent Email Folder Paths:
  • Verify folder paths and case sensitivity.
  • Use a configurable parameter for the mail folder.
  • Use Relative Paths for Files:
  • Replace absolute paths with relative paths (e.g., .\YourFile.xlsx).
  • Check Dependencies and Project Settings:
  • Include all dependencies in the project.json file.
  • Avoid referencing local paths or user-specific configurations.
  • Create a Config File:
  • Store parameters in config.xlsx (e.g., file paths, folder names, email settings).
  • Publish to Orchestrator:
  • Publish the project to UiPath Orchestrator for easy access.
  • Alternatively, share the project as a NuGet package.
  • Use Environment Variables:
  • Use environment variables for paths and settings to enhance adaptability.

Most probably the flow that you are using have the absolute paths check the paths that you are passing for the files. It should be relative paths.

Relative paths are useful when you want your workflow to be more portable, allowing it to run correctly even if the project is moved to a different location.

Hope this helps :slight_smile:

not send mails, just get mails from outlook - get outlook mail messages

her error says “the specified folder does not exist”, and what i’ve put in is “Inbox”

can you give me an example of absolute path vs relative path? because it’s a shared folder that we all have access to, so it should be the same?

Sometimes it might be package version issues. Try updating all the package to the latest version and make the runtime rule as Lowest as applicable in Manage packages… @Anushka_Purohit

Or

If your team member have logged multiple accounts in the same outlook then tell him to give the Outlook account I’d in the Account field in properties from which account he want to read mails.

Hope you understand!!
