Hi guys,
My curiosity into automation peaked when I felt like business and admin tasks were eating up more of my time than actual deep productive creative work. I set up my mind to automate most of my recurring business tasks and so the universe showed me the way to Zapier. I grew fascinated and soon started dipping my toes in other similar automation platforms like Integrately,Konnectzit etc.
However,one issue stayed unresolved and that was the ability to automate the printing of a simple pdf file or multiple on my local printer. I need to print out my purchase and sale invoices every month to submit to my accountant as well as to maintain a physical record(I do store everything digitally). This task usually takes me 1-2 hours. I eventually found out about Microsoft's Power Automate after countless failed attempts at trying to find a suitable software which could do the trick. To my surprise it was free!
Now,I've created a "flow" and added a folder and a printing task to it (excuse my inaccurate terminology).
The flow according to how I see it is supposed to filter out all the pdf,png,jpg files from a specified folder and the printer is later supposed to print all of it using the "Print document" action. I've added the flow variable "Files" in my print document action and it's showing an error that the argument specified must be a file.
Please help. I'm using Windows 10 & a Brother basic monocrhome Printer. I've attached appropriate screenshots. Thanks in advance for your help 🙂 Have a great week ahead!
Regards
