Conditional Filtering

Learn about conditional filtering for Automations

Introduction

Couchdrop allows for conditional filtering so that specific actions in a workflow only apply if certain conditions are met. This allows the use of one workflow for multiple scenarios and to selectively apply the workflow to specific files only.

Setting conditions

Conditions are set in the automation builder by clicking a plus sign and choosing Conditions.

Types of Filters

You can select from multiple filters when building an automation:
