Dynamic Folder Path for FTP File Extraction

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 4

Hi,

 

I'm currently having issue where i've set up an automation to copy camera snapshots from an FTP server to the cloud, but due to how the camera uploads recordings a new subfolder is created every day to store the recordings to, i.e on the 18th of November recordings were uploaded to a folder name 2021-11-18 and on the 19th they're uploaded to a folder titled 2021-11-19.

This folder structure is automatically done by the camera and we're unable to change it.

 

This means we have to edit the flow every day to reflect this change in the folder pathway.

 

I have found out a way to automate the creation of the variable to reflect this change in the file name, but then don't have the trigger option needed to copy the file across as I need more than just the properties.

Thanks

    FYI. This is a Power Automate Desktop Forum. You may have better luck in a Power Automate or Flow forum. Those screenshots are not from Desktop.
