Actions

When configuring an automation, you are required to configure a set of actions. These actions apply to the files matching the conditions of the automation.

The action object

Both Schedule automations and Event automations require actions. Actions are passed as JSON objects in an array. See the Scheduled Automations nad Event Automations docs to see how to include them when configuring the automations .

Here is an example of what an action object looks like.

[
    {
        "type":"<action_type>",
        ....
    }
]

Actions have variable params, which can be found below. An example of a copy action is here

{
    "type":"copy",
    "copy_to":"/new/destination/"
}
