Alternatively you can use python  with a function like this:

from ayx import Alteryx
import shutil
import os
import pandas as pd

def archiving(a):
    source=a['filepath'].tolist()
    destination=a['destination'].iloc[0]
    destination=destination.replace('\','/')
    source=[shutil.copy(each,destination) for each in source]
    dicty={"newfiles":[destination+os.path.basename(each) for each in source]}
    output=pd.DataFrame.from_dict(dicty)
    Alteryx.write(output,1)

df=Alteryx.read("#1")
archiving(df)
