Supported Actions
Learn about supported Actions with Transfer Automations in Couchdrop
Introduction
Couchdrop supports several key actions when configuring and managing automations. These actions modify or move files that are being processed by Couchdrop.
Selecting Actions
Actions are set in the automation builder by clicking a plus sign and choosing Actions.
Action Nesting
Actions can be nested in Automations, which means one action depends on the success and output of the previous action. This is a unique feature of Couchdrop and allows for very complex scenarios.
If a sub-action fails, then Couchdrop will not continue to process any child actions.
For more information, see Automation Builder.
