FS Automation

Introduction

File System (FS) automation involves automating interactions with files and folders on a computer’s file system. This also involves managing and manipulation of files and directories inside a computer’s file system.

Supported File Systems

FS automation supports the following file systems:

1. Local Files: Files stored within local folders on the system.
2. Shared Network Paths: Files located on shared network paths, if appropriate access permissions have been granted.

Use Cases

1. Data Ingestion and Extraction: Bots can automatically ingest data from various file formats, such as spreadsheets or text files, and extract relevant information for further processing.
2. File Transfer and Synchronization: Automate the transfer of files between different systems or directories, ensuring data synchronization and maintaining consistency.
3. Data Backup and Archiving: Implement automated processes to regularly back up important files and archive data based on predefined criteria.
4. File Monitoring and Alerts: Implement automated monitoring of specific folders or files, triggering alerts or actions when certain conditions are met, such as the arrival of a new file.
5. Document Management: Automate document-related tasks, such as renaming files, organizing them into folders.
