Move Files Automatically

When uploaded in A/, automatically move file to B/.

Usecase

This template implements a simple workflow:

• When any file is uploaded inside a "source" folder,
• Automatically move it to a "target" folder.

The "Source" and "Target" parameters are mandatory to enable the Flow.

How It Works

This show-cases various aspects of Cells Flows:

• Listening to files creation with an "Event"-based trigger
• Filtering these events based on various conditions (inside source folder only, files only)
• Use a piece of script to compute target destination

Parameters

Name	Type	Default	Mandatory	Description
SourceFolder	text	pydiods1/upload/	false	Source folder to watch for new files uploaded.
TargetFolder	text	pydiods1/download	false	Target folder where to move uploaded files.

Trigger Type

Event-based
