Hi there,Merry XMAS to all… a quick question - is Automise capable of watching a folder and then moving a file to, say, Sharepont shared document folder? If so, a reference would be appreciated??Many thanks,Kim.

Hi Kim,  
  
Yes, Automise has some built in actions to “wait for” certain events. For example there’s the “Wait for File” which can wait for a file to exist, to change, etc. You can also set a timeout and set the polling interval. There’s also the File Dependency action which looks for new files than a certain date/time or when the action ran last time.
