The following activity illustrates on how we are going to use the unzip activity tab to extract files from the zipped robility folder.
Example:
1. Drag and drop the unzip activity from the FS Automation feature
2. Double click on the activity
3. Choose the path in which the extracted files must be saved using the browse option
4. In the property tab, ZipFilePath choose the path and file from which the files must be extracted. Add .zip at the end since we are going to extract the files from a zipped folder. E.g., "C:\Users\Documents\robility.zip"
5. Add a variable to the result box if you wish to see if the file has been unzipped or not
6. Drag and drop a write log activity from the notification feature below the unzip activity
7. Enter the same variable to the input string which was added to the result box in the Unzip property tab.
8. Enter the log value as “Info” to the Log level
9. Execute the workflow
The bot executes the workflow, unzips the folder and declares the value as true in the write log.
