Adding Attachments from a Networkfolder without using the Hotfolder Functionality

0

Hi Pasquale,

I think you could still use the HotFolder functionality. Maybe create a simple workflow with just a start and end step which would get all the documents from the folder - one workflow per document (Start new workflow without conversion to pdf). This way you have all the documents in Webcon. Next, when you start the workflow to which you want to attach those documents, just use the Add attachment action, Files choice mode: Based on SQL query, Source files: Copy or Move attachments to the current instance (depending on if you need the same attachment for another process or not).

Does this approach help?

Cheers,
Martin

Hi Martin

Thanks for your input but working with a HotFolder is really not the way to go here based on the amount of files which have to be gathered, we are currently planning to write an SDK to get the CSV Files and then also merge and transform them to Excel for better readability.
Seems much less hassle than dealing with up to 200 new workflow instances per day.

Hi,

VSB has developed a special SDK action for this (subject to a fee) This allows files to be easily attached and also detached as part of a process. Source and target folders can be stored configuratively. Just get in touch if you are interested.
