Moving files to another directory

Hi all! I need a workflow to periodically check if there are new excel files in a directory, and if there are, they need to be moved to another directory. The workflow I have built (see attachment) works fine if there are any excel files available and moves them to the desired folder, however, it throws the following error if the directory is empty:

Error: Run Command (17): The external program "%temp%\MoveFiles.bat" returned an error code: 1

Is there a way to stop/finish this workflow without throwing an error if there are no excel files to be moved? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Hi @oce

Sorry nope 😶 it works only has copy and paste.

What you can do is use a filter and filter the files that was created today. That way only newly created files are moved.

Hope this helps : )

Hi,

Unfortunately I dont think there is a way to suppress errors (though please someone correct me) but based on this workflow, do you think this could be better accomplished using windows scheduler to run the bat file? I would think its a more seamless execution.
