Write to File Activity

The Write to File activity allows you create one or more log files for any workflow.

You can configure multiple Write to File activities in a single workflow. Each activity can write to a separate file or you can append the content to an existing file.

Workflow log files are automatically written to the folder %ProgramData%\Proficy\Workflow Files. You can include additional folders to the file path that are relative to this path; for example, temp\<filename>.txt.
