After compressing files and folders, the Zip Files Action retains the name of archive and the list of files added to the archive as well as the Completion status. This information can be retrieved as dynamic Variable Wizard values by the following Actions to specify their behavior.
| Variable | Details |
|---|---|
| Archive name | Returns the name of archive file into which folders and files were compressed.
Examples:
|
| List of compressed files | Returns the list of folders and files that were added to archive.
Example:
|
| Completion status | Retrieve Action execution status with a possible value—Successful or Failed. Or Empty, if Action has not been executed yet. |
| Adjust() | Streamline creation of Task workflows even further—instantly make quick variable adjustments such as in-place replacement (all, first, or last occurrence), trimming (whitespaces, quotes, etc.), or changing capitalization. Optionally, set a different display name. |
Automatic list processing…
The Zip Files variables returned as lists (even multi-level) can be automatically processed in further Actions. Use the For Each Action to parse a given text string (any list variable) and sequentially retrieve its elements one by one · see list processing examples. Or, use the Split Text and Lookup Text Actions to access list elements by their indices.
