    Hi, 

    I assume in the "List files and check if deleted" action you are checking the file existence using the "Get file metadata using Path" action. If that is so , you can use "Status code" property in the condition to send mail.

    If status code = 200 , file exists , if not it is otherwise.

    Hope this helps.

    I'm assuming because you have deleted the file so the action won't be able to retrive the file from sftp location, so if that's the case then you can send email when your action i.e Get file metadata using path is failed means you can configure the run after property of send an email when your stfp actions gets failed.
