Hi there,
What I want to accomplish is when a folder with specific name, such as "zzz" was created, the file monitor will trigger and run the task. About my need, I'm using a software to create some flip books, which file name for each book is very similar to each other (page1, page2...) and only folder name that contain these files is unique. I dont want task to trigger every time new book (and folder) was created, but after all the book was processed and zzz folder will always the last one.
Problems is I read somewhere in the forum that you said Robotask can't monitor folder (and it's name), but just the files in that folder. I tried setup as the picture below but it doesn't work, the task still run everytime a new folder was created. I dont know how to setup if new files was added in a folder with specific name, the task will be run. Please give me some advice. Thanks.

File monitor trigger when a specific folder was created
Re: File monitor trigger when a specific folder was created
Your configuration will not work
Look at my example (see screenshot) If you want to monitor files you have to check Monitor files option
If you want to monitor folders you have to check Monitor folders option
Do not use *.* as exclude mask. In this case you exclude all files or folders
Pay attention that zzz is not a mask. This is complete file or folder name.
