Error handling

Parameter Name

Description

Throw error & stop

When an error occurs, the action will trigger an error and stop the execution of the entire app.

Retry command

If an error occurs, the action will retry the command in an attempt to resolve the issue and continue the process.

Ignore error & continue

When an error occurs, the action will be ignored, and the workflow will continue without interruption.

Variables produced

This action produces a variable that stores the path of the pasted folder.


Using Variables in Conditions

You can use variables in the folder path fields by inserting them using the {x} format. Previously defined variables can be used to dynamically specify source and destination folders based on runtime conditions.


Notes

  • Ensure that you have proper permissions to access both the source folder and the destination location.

  • The "Overwrite" option will preserve files in the destination folder that don't exist in the source folder.

  • When using "Add suffix", the system will automatically append a number to the folder name to make it unique.

  • If the source folder contains a large number of files, the copy operation may take some time to complete.
