Using Variables in Conditions
The folder path parameter supports variable insertion, indicated by the {x} symbol. You can use variables that contain file paths or directories that were previously defined in your workflow. When using variables, ensure that the resulting path is valid and properly formatted according to your operating system requirements.
Notes
The command only checks for folder existence and does not verify permissions or whether the folder is accessible.
For network paths, ensure that proper network credentials are available.
If using relative paths, they will be evaluated relative to the current working directory of the RPA process.
This command is often used as a condition before performing file operations to prevent errors when working with folders.
