Automation app: Overview
The Automation app in Aspera on Cloud lets you create automated workflows that initiate file transfers, make calls to an API, and send notifications to users. This article describes the app, its components, key concepts for automated workflows and jobs, and provides an example use case.
Prerequisites
Before a user in your organization can use the Automation app, an admin must enable the app and add members. The admin must also enable communication between the Activity app and the attached node and storage.
Enabling the Automation app and adding members
The Automation app is not enabled by default. As an admin, you must enable it and add members, organization members who you want to use the Automation app. For content security purposes, note that a user of any role who is a member of the Automation app can use all the features of the app and see all content in the app, regardless of their workspace membership.
Resources for developers
You can find reference information and developer guides for the Automation API on the IBM API Hub.
