Get Sirv to automatically perform common tasks. Save time and remove the possibility of human error by configuring automation rules.

Automation rules

All kinds of automations can be created, in many different scenarios. The most common is for an automation to start with a trigger:

  • Upload file

Then one or more of these actions would be initiated:

  • Move file
  • Rename file
  • Copy file
  • Delete file
  • Add meta description
  • Add meta SKU
  • Convert video to spin
  • Convert spin to video
  • Stabilize video
  • Generate video stream

Automation examples

If an online store wanted to file newly uploaded images into their appropriate folder structure, they could upload appropriately named images and this rule would do the rest:

  • If file is uploaded to folder /Incoming-photos/;
  • then move it to folder /Products/{filename_first_2_chars}/{filename_first_6_chars}/.

If a car dealer wanted to stabilize and sort their videos based on the car license plate, they could upload appropriately named videos and this rule would do the rest:

  • If video is uploaded to folder /My-New-Vehicles/;
  • then stabilize the video;
  • then move it to folder /Vehicles/{license-plate}/.

Configure a rule

To configure a rule in your Sirv account, please contact the Sirv support team to describe the rule you'd like to configure. Once we've gathered enough use cases, we'll create a tool for you to create your own rules.
