checking for new file must be done every hour.
maybe will be better to check for last modified date for the file for the script to know there is a new file. note old file will be overwritten by the new file

prob a script would be better…i don’t know scripting available on ms pc’s
but you’d want it to call the folders current size
compare it to the previously called size
if size1 != newsize then…(trigger how you want to display the info_
