Thanks

Maybe try with something simple like ~/Downloads first:

Unfortunately then I don't know, what macOS version are you on?
It works fine for me on macOS Sequoia, however I think I haven't tested it on older version.

Sequoia 15.4.1

Mhh, maybe this requires "Full Disk Access" to be enabled for BTT in System Settings => Privacy & Security => Full Disk Access.

I might need to add a way to request access only to monitor specific files/folders.

so it works if I use download pathway but the siri shortcut im using keeps getting triggered until i force close BTT

10

that means something keeps changing in that folder (at least if you have it set to watch all changes)

Could also be some recursive trigger if your shortcut is modifying a file in that folder

set it to only when new file is created
