As an alternative, this could also be done with the help of an Action that can be used elsewhere too. I created a new Action, called it "Get Records Count"

Have defined a single input:

Next I have added a Script step that also has an input that looks the same as the Action input:

The code is pretty str8 fwd:

(function execute(inputs, outputs) {
  if (inputs.records && inputs.records.isValidRecord)
    outputs.count = inputs.records.getRowCount();
  else
    outputs.count = 0;
})(inputs, outputs);

And - of course - as visible in the picture, the Script Step also has an output, I named it count.

Finally the Action itself also has an output, again named the same as the Script step output:

And I have configured the Action to use the Script step's output as the Action's output value:

Once this is done and activated, I can use it as below:

Of course this will result in the Count data pill that I can use to check whether any attachments have been received:

script working successfully, but getting Error like "Value of field record is not a GlideRecord"

You need to look up the record first, as even though the name of the data pill is "Record", in reality it is not a GlideRecord - just as the error states. The log also shows it to be a document_id. But you can use Record and Table as the sys_id and table name in the lookup activity.

Hi Janos,

What are the things i need to modify here

You need to place a Look up Records activity in front of the Update Case Record one.

You need to add a loop (forEach) after the Look up Records activity.

You need to move the Update Record activity inside the loop (forEach) and make it update the currently looped record.

Turn the Update Case Record activity into something like this:

I use task, cause I have no Case table in my PDI.
