Could you please help me on how Appian RPA can pull file from local folder and also if it is possible</description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>Telligent Community 12</generator><item><title>RE: Fetch file from local drive and send it to Appian process model</title><link>https://community.appian.com/thread/101117?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Tue, 13 Sep 2022 17:56:27 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">d3a83456-d57b-489c-a84c-4e8267bb592a:3e3cb97f-a2a8-47d5-9f89-f0e129708525</guid><dc:creator>Cyrus Saadat</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Are you trying to just get the filepath or the file itself to pass? If you want the filepath, you can use the &amp;quot;List the contents of a folder&amp;quot; action and specify the the name of the file using the Name Filter in the configuration, save this into a variable.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You can use the Start Process action in RPA to pass the filepath into the process model.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
