AutomationEdge File Upload

Description:

AutomationEdge File Upload sends one or more local files to the AutomationEdge Server and generates a unique file identifier for each uploaded file. Downstream steps, such as AutomationEdge File Download, use this identifier to retrieve the files later in the same workflow or in a different workflow. This step is commonly used to share operational files like .csv or .txt between workflow stages running on the server. You can optionally override the auto-generated identifier with a user-friendly name and control file visibility by scoping it to a specific request ID.

Note:

Step can be used to design a workflow however, it executes meaningfully only once published on AutomationEdge Server and when executed by Agents.
