At first, I was passing a ZIP file that had been incorrectly converted, so when I logged the errors, it showed a message indicating that nothing was extracted because the file was not properly decrypted. Now, I am passing the correct file and have set up a dynamic folder to extract the ZIP file into each time. However, I'm still unsure how to iterate over the documents inside that folder. Are there any functions to access the contents of a folder?

Can you please specify what you mean by:

What DOES happen? Do you see the list of extracted documents in the destination folder or not? What exactly happens "incorrectly"?

As far as I know, our capabilities in Appian are pretty much limited to unzipping the entire ZIP file into a folder, and then reading the resulting contents from there. Have you tried this?
