Hello,
how can I retrieve the last (most recent) file added to the folder?I have tried this If Statement
but it does not help me achieve the goal I want to achieve.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Regards,

Hi @dkayt
a simple method would help 🙂
here i am using get files in folder action to get list of all files which would be sorted by creation time in descending order 🙂
Now the output is stored in %Files% variable, Now use %Files[0]% to retrive a most recent file 🙂

in the "Get files in folder" action you can go into "advanced" and sort by what you want, in this case, creation time. this will generate a list, simply set a variable to %Files[0]% and you'll have the latest file.
