Workflows - IFTTT

Administrators can use workflows to automate certain standard operations within FileCloud.

Workflows operate using the following model:

IF "CONDITION" - THEN "ACTION" (IFTTT)

You can setup specific triggers to run when the following conditions occur:

  • A system event 

  • A specific date and time 

  • A variety of actions
