How to use:
- Drag and drop the "Folder Exist" activity onto the workflow.
- Configure the properties by specifying the full path of the folder to be checked for existence.
- Optionally, configure the delay and customize the display name.
- Execute the workflow to check if the specified folder exists.
Example: Consider an example where the "Folder Exist" activity is used to check if a folder named "FolderExist" exists in the "D:\Folder\" directory:
Folder Exist:
Display Name: "Check Folder Existence"
Folder Path: "D:\Folder\FolderExist"
Exist: isFolderExist
In this example, the activity checks whether the "FolderExist" folder exists. The result of the check (true or false) is stored in the Boolean variable "isFolderExist" for further handling in the workflow. Adjust the folder path as needed for your workflow.
