SAP Intelligent RPA Automation, execute agent when a file is written to folder

[former_member602607]

Hi All,

Can we have a listner or a trigger where the BOT executes when a file is written to a folder. Or do we have to schedule the BOT to run periodically like every 5 minutes and check the folder for new files?

Hi,

You can only add 3 types of triggers when you deploy a bot :

- attended : the user manually starts the bot execution

- scheduled : the bot execution starts on a regular basis (daily, weekly, etc.) at a given hour

- API : you call a given URL from another application to start the bot execution

That being said, it is not possible to trigger a bot execution on an event basis such as the creation of a file in a given folder.
