Load CSV file coming zipped with dynamic name

Hi Folks,

I am receiving weekly data in CSV format but it comes in a zip file named like this:

DATA_2018-12-03.zip

This zip contains a CSV file DATA_2018-12-03.csv

I want to schedule the workflow to run automatically and I tried to use the Dynamic Input or even the Run Command to unzip the file but couldn't make it run properly.

Do you have any suggestions on this?

Thanks.
