Get Folder
Description
The Get Folder activity retrieves metadata for a specified folder in IB Drive.
The returned folder information can be used by downstream activities to reference or perform additional operations on the folder.
Common settings
Use Process Data to bind supported inputs to workflow values or upstream outputs. See Common Activity Features for shared execution, error-handling, and output-persistence settings. Availability depends on the activity.
Design-Time Configuration
Display Text
Specifies a user-defined name for the activity.
The display text appears on the workflow canvas and can be used to identify the purpose of the activity.
Folder
Specifies the IB Drive folder whose metadata is to be retrieved.
The folder can be specified using one of the following methods:
| Method | Description |
|---|---|
| Select Directory | Select the folder by browsing IB Drive using the folder picker. |
| By Id | Specify the unique IB Drive item ID of the folder. This is the default method. |
| By Path | Specify the logical path of the folder within IB Drive, for example /Agents/InvoiceProcessing/Input. |
The value can also be provided dynamically using workflow data.
This property is required.
Execution settings
Configure Wait All Incoming when execution paths converge, and On Error for failure handling. Select Inherit where available to use the workflow-level error policy.
Outputs
Folder
Returns an IB-X Folder Reference for the specified IB Drive folder. Bind the whole output to a compatible reference input, or use Id with an IB Drive By Id selector.
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
| Id | The unique identifier (GUID) of the folder in IB Drive. |
| Name | The name of the folder. |
| Location | The logical path of the folder within IB Drive, for example /Agents/InvoiceProcessing/Input. |
| ParentId | The unique identifier (GUID) of the parent folder containing this folder. |
| Size | The size associated with the folder. For folders, this is typically 0. |
| MimeType | The content type associated with the folder, if applicable. |
| Created | The UTC date and time when the folder was created in IB Drive. |
| Modified | The UTC date and time when the folder was last modified. |
Bind Folder directly to a compatible Folder Reference input, or its Id to an IB Drive By Id selector.
Remarks
- The specified folder must exist in IB Drive when the activity executes.
- The activity retrieves folder metadata without modifying the folder or its contents.
- When using By Path, specify the logical path of the folder within IB Drive.
- The returned Id can be used by downstream IB Drive activities that support identifying a folder using By Id.
