Zip folder not visible while attaching it in web

[shekhawat.arjun1307]

Hi All,

I am using the Balareva zip activity to create zip folder (naming convention would be that day’s date) as shown in the snap.

I need to attach todays folder let’s say in the above case 18032021 as an attachment but the issue i am getting is that when i give the exact path like this

And then using the type into activity i type out the excact path for that zip folder like this

I do not see that file in there.

although if i do the same thing maually like going into the system and typing out manually it show me the folder

Can anyone suggest as to why this is happening?

Hi @shekhawat.arjun1307 !
For the assign of Path_ try to add
+ ".zip"
at the end and let us know

Hi @Hiba_B

Even after modifying the Path_ by adding the .zip extension it doesn’t seems to work, After typing into it still doesn’t shows any file.

If you want to upload file zip by browser (IE, Chrome) you should type this path_ variable to filename form and hit enter. If you paste it to the address form it is opening folder.

Hi @Yameso

Didn’t exactly got you here, can you elaborate or try to explain in another way?

[Yameso (Jakub Swiderski)]

Are you uploading files? Do you need to choose file in the window like this?

If thats yes then dont type into your Path_ varaible into:

Type it in:

after type into use sent hotkey with enter on the same selector.
