Cells Flows
Cells Flows makes it easy to automate your repetitive manual tasks in Cells.
From creating your own workflows to scheduling tasks or integrating with third-party tools, our customizable components help you to respond events and take action automatically.
Cells Flows is sold as an Add-On to Cells Enterprise or Cells Connect.
Cells Flows provides an intuitive drag-and-drop interface to create and manage jobs directly inside the Cells Console.
-
Customizable components (actions) can be chained together and launched by specific events or by scheduled triggers.
-
Conditional queries and filters provide a “no-code” approach to pull data and to trigger a workflow based on incoming data.
-
Variables, templates and scripts can be used to create complex workflows with their own parameters, providing deep access to Cells internals for the most advanced users.
Your creativity is the limit! Checkout our step-by-step video guide for creating a simple job.
Ready-Made Components
Cells Flows is bundled with a set of carefully-crafted, customizable actions that cover a wide-range of tasks.
Simulate user actions on files and folders (copy, move, rename, delete…), create archives, update user-defined metadata like Tags.
Read/write files contents for custom processing or generating reports.
Read and transform Cells “identity management” objects (users, workspaces, roles, ACLs…) and listen to their custom events (user logged, public link created, etc...)
Interact with outside world by sending emails, calling webhooks, etc.
Integration With Third-Party Tools
Cells Flows makes it a breeze to integrate Pydio Cells with third-party tools or services:
Integrate your own file processor via the server command-line interface.
Use webhooks to call external services like IFTTT or Zapier using JSON format.
Upload/download files to/from other servers with FTP or HTTP.
Trigger programmed jobs from outside using Cells scheduler API.
Criteria-based filters provide an intuitive user interface to build specific conditions for filtering data or fetching it from Cells internal services. Conditions can be nested and combined with "AND/OR" operators.
Conditional filters can create "IF/ELSE" branches to decide when to apply a sequence of action.
Filters, actions and queries parameters accept Template Variables, whose values can be computed dynamically at runtime based on the data coming from previous actions.
Template variables can be modified by functions, and some advanced actions support a scripting language to write your own piece of code!
