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:

Name	Description	Example	Explanation
Filename matches	Only applies for to a filename with the exact match	Files.txt	Only files named "Files.txt" will continue
Filename does not match	Applies to all files except for the filename with the exact match	Files.txt	All files except files named "Files.txt" will continue
File Modtime	Specify a modification time. Supports before, after, "in the last" and "older than"	Older than 7 Days	Only files modified more than 7 days ago will continue
Directory matches	Select a location to choose a directory or paste full path	Hosted-2024	Only files in "Hosted- 2024" directory will continue
Directory does not match	Select a location to exclude a directory or paste full path	Hosted-2024	All files except those in "Hosted-2024" directory will continue

AND filtering

Use "Match all of these conditions (AND)" to only apply the following action when all conditions are met.

OR Filtering

Use "Match any of these conditions (OR)" to apply if a single specified condition is met.
