file monitor task

[lauralordelaure]

Hi,
I have created a task that will monitor file changes within a specific folder and its sub folders. The problem I have is that I would like it to email me every 30mins the files that have been added. I can get it to email me but not with the file listings.
Many thanks in advance

File monitor trigger can pass to the task the list of changed or added files.

Just a quick tip - make sure you're using the {FileMonitorChanges} variable (or whichever one matches your trigger setup) in your email body. If you want the list to accumulate over 30 minutes, you might need to write the changes to a temporary text file first and then have the email task read that file before clearing it for the next round.

That temporary text file approach is a smart workaround for aggregating the list over 30 minutes, but wouldn't that risk missing or skipping files if a change happens right while the email task is reading and clearing the file?
