Monitor folder

[dbortunk]

How would you create a task to monitor if a folder exists and if it does not exist send an email and create the folder and continue monitoring if it exists?

IMHO, it's better to make two tasks.

First task monitors the folder c:\MyFolder (see "file monitor" triggering event)

Second task checks the existence of the folder and creates if it doesn't exist.

If {FolderExists(c:\MyFolder)}=false then
   create folder "c:\MyFolder"
end if

Second task may be triggered by Cyclic event. (suppose, each 15 sec)

I don't see how you setup the file monitor to watch for a folder existing or not.

See my previous post. You don't need file monitor to check existence of the folder.

Also see the task below:
