Module automations 

Automation operations

Automations enable scheduled or event-driven file operations without manual intervention. Create workflows that automatically process files based on schedules, file events, or webhooks.

Features

• Schedule automated file operations (copy, move, delete)
• Trigger actions on file events (upload, download, modify)
• Configure recurring tasks (daily, weekly, monthly)
• Set up webhook-triggered automations
• Manage syncs with remote servers
• Import files from external URLs

Automation Types

• create_folder - Create directories automatically
• delete_file - Delete files matching patterns
• copy_file - Copy files to destinations
• move_file - Move files between locations
• run_sync - Execute sync operations
• import_file - Import from external URLs

Example

use files_sdk::{FilesClient, AutomationHandler};

let client = FilesClient::builder()
    .api_key("your-api-key")
    .build()?;

let handler = AutomationHandler::new(client);

// Create automation to copy uploaded files to archive daily
let automation = handler.create(
    "copy_file",
    Some("/uploads/*.pdf"),
    Some("/archive/"),
    None,
    Some("day"),
    Some("/uploads"),
    Some("daily")
).await?;

println!("Created automation ID: {}", automation.id.unwrap());

// Manually trigger the automation
handler.manual_run(automation.id.unwrap()).await?;
