Hi,
I need to trigger a sequence automatically if any file arrives in a particluar directory.Whil running the file will be deleted by sequence. Once the sequence gets completed again it has to wait for files in th same directory. How can I achieve this ?

Hi,
You can have a master sequence and use the wait for file activity stage to trigger other sequences.
