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.
