Delay until file is fully copied
Posted: Sat Jul 18, 2026 9:56 am
I'm automating a workflow where RoboTask watches a folder for new PDF files. The problem is that some large files trigger the task before the copy process has completely finished, causing the next actions to fail because the file is still locked.
Is there a reliable way in RoboTask to wait until a file is fully copied and no longer in use before continuing the task, without relying on a fixed delay? I'd appreciate any suggestions or best practices.
