What's changed
Enhancement to the Folder package (Service Cloud case ID: 02055576)

When you use the Unzip action to extract compressed content (files and folders) into a specific location from a .zip file and if the zipped file is corrupted, it now displays an appropriate message as: There is an issue while operating on Zip.

6.9.1

  • Compatible Bot Agent version: 20.11 or later
  • Compatible Control Room version: 8750 or later
Fixes
The Folder > Unzip action now successfully extracts files even if the folders contain files that do not have a name and extension.
Note: This action ignores the file without a name and extension and extracts the remaining correct files only.

Service Cloud case ID: 01997210

The Case sensitive option works as expected when you define a regex pattern for a file name in the Folder > Zip action.

6.7.0

  • Compatible Bot Agent version: 20.11 or later
  • Compatible Control Room version: 8750 or later
