Check if a file it created today

Hello,

I am trying to setup a task that runs once a day and checks if a file is created today. If the file is NOT created, I would like to receive and email. Is this possible?

Hi,

yes, this is possible.

Use Files.SearchFiles and then check the creation date
If it is not today -> send email

Regards,
Marc

Please see attachment of how to do that...

Replace with your values where necessary.

Thank you for the help - I really appreciate it.

I am pretty sure i setup everything correctly, but it sends the email even i have files created from today. Could you take a look when you have a sec and me know if I missed anything? maybe send me the XSTK file exported from what you created?

Hi,

Your value in SetVariable2 Must be true and not false! This is why you always receive an email.

Give it a try!

Also, your file properties looks akward in the value field.

I am having a strange issue. If there is more then 9 files in the directory it is checking, then it doesn't send the email if the file from today is missing. Any thoughts?
