Exercise 5: Receiving jobs from within a server hierarchy

Instruction

Create a new flow that processes all files stored in the subfolders with the name Incoming (see image below). Once processed, the files must be moved to a new folder with the name Completed, under the appropriate client name.





Note: This type of flow is useful to work with folders with variable names (e.g. client A, client B, ...). If new client folders are added, the flow doesn't have to be changed; jobs will be processed automatically.
