Require help to build workflow with zipped contents

Ashbeginner

Hello,

I am new to Alteryx and would like some help on building a workflow. I am trying to build a flow that looks for a folder created today and contains certain characters (for example, files containing the word "apple'). The "Apple" folder will contain a zipped file that needs to be unzipped. Once unzipped, it needs to look into the folder contents and look for a file with a file extension of .csv. Once the csv is located, it needs to be renamed with the current date and dropped into another folder location. This flow is meant to be used daily. 

 

So far, I have used the directory tool to locate the "Apple" folder and used the filter tool to only look at folders with today's date but am stuck on how to proceed. How can I do this?
