Introduction

File Actions allow certain actions to occur when a file is uploaded or downloaded to Couchdrop. These can be connected to other ingestion and sharing methods including Mailboxes, Shared Links, AS2 Stations, and SFTP uploads and downloads.

File Actions are built using the visual automation builder.

Schedule	Description

Enabling File Actions

To enable a File Action, click File Action Enabled in the builder or click the three dots next to the Automation name in Actions and choose Enable Workflow.

Multi-step automations

Couchdrop supports multi-step automations using the visual automation builder. This allows for multiple actions to apply to the same file and the ability to route files to multiple locations.
