List of actions

Download links

If the first action in the automation plan is “INPUT: Links” or “INPUT: One Link”, then you can add the “Download Links” action. It will be necessary to select the links that were submitted for input and the folder where the files should be downloaded.

Select files

This action allows you to filter (select) from the input file list those files that meet the necessary conditions.

Applying the ‘File Size’ filter

For this filter, you can write an expression with conditions regarding the file size, to select files according to their sizes.

The following variables can be used in the expression, which will be replaced by the corresponding numeric values

[file_sum] - the sum of all files passed to the action input
[file_max] - size of the largest file of all files passed to the action input
[file_min] - size of the smallest file of all files passed to the action input

[kB] - will be replaced by *1000 (converts kilobytes to bytes)
[KiB] - will be replaced by *1024 (converts kibibytes to bytes)
[MB] - will be replaced by *1000000 (converts megabytes to bytes)
[MiB] - will be replaced by *1048576 (converts mebibytes to bytes)
[GB] - will be replaced by *1000000000 (converts gigabytes to bytes)
[GiB] - to be replaced by *1073741824 (converts gigabytes to bytes)
[TB] - to be replaced by *1000000000000 (converts terabytes to bytes)
[TiB] - will be replaced by *1099511627776 (converts terabytes to bytes)

Since the expression is applied each time for only one file from the list, the variables [file_sum], [file_max], [file_min] will be the same and always equal to the size of the file being checked.

For example, the expression

[file_sum] > 1[GB]

Means: Select all files that are larger than 1 Gigabyte.

It takes a list of files and a list of text variables as input and generates the output text according to a given pattern.

There are additional variables that can be used in the template:

Available variables:
{url} - inserts a direct link to the file
{file} - inserts file name with extension
{name} - inserts file name without extension
{folder} - inserts a folder name
{folder_fw} - inserts the first word of the folder name
{folder_bsp} - inserts text up to the first space in the parent folder name

If you switch on the option This is ordinal text, not post,then the received text will not be interpreted as a post, but just as another text variable and accordingly the content will not be shown in the post view window after the automation tasks are completed.
