After its completion the Write to File Action retains some of its operational data such as the full path and the name of file that was written to as well as the number of bytes written and completion status of the file writing procedure.

These dynamic data on the file writing can be retrieved by the means of Variable Wizard and used for automatic ad-hoc configuration of the next Actions, thus streamlining automatic file writing into the wider context of the Task.

Automation unveiled. A 90-second journey.
