- It runs a set of Actions, if a folder exists and another one—if it does not.
- Allows creating Tasks that are effectively executed only if a certain folder exists or not.
Usage examples
- Schedule a Task to perform daily a daily workflow which verifies if a specific folder exists and is not empty. Upload the folder content to an SFTP server.
- Before proceeding with an automated backup workflow, check if a
folder-[date]
exists (always current date). If it does not—create the folder. Or seamlessly ensure the folder exists with one Action. - It can be supplemented with the Else Action which runs a subset of Actions when the specified conditions are not met.
