By effectively uniting an intuitive visual interface with rich parameter specificity, this Automation tool allows designing Tasks of script-like complexity. Thus, without requiring any coding experience, you are equipped with tools capable of automatically joining normally unconnected (i.e., manually connected) processes.

Automate anywhere and everything using advanced Job Scheduler Trigger, intelligent file and remote folder watchers, or simply system startup triggers. These Triggers can be dynamically linked with 100+ workload automation Actions allowing users to create automated tasks for jobs like file and folder operations, compressing files with popular Windows or Linux archiver support, uploading or downloading files from secure FTP servers or even a cloud.

Automation Workshop includes the necessary managing, monitoring, reporting, and logging features. That allow the user to uniquely identify processes and problems and to stay informed about relevant system operations.

Awesome

Monitor local and network folders for changes and automatically launch the appropriate Task to handle the situation in a predefined yet flexible manner.
Automatically synchronize directories to retain exact copies of data in local folders and remote directories, such as SFTP, FTP, Amazon S3, or WebDAV.
Advanced Task Scheduler executes jobs on a flexible schedule, including advanced recurrence patterns, configurable repetitions, and exclusions.

Secure

Excellent industry-standard secure email capacities with SSL and STARTTLS options not only present the user with all the necessary means for sophisticated email sending but also can easily take care of automatic email distribution of any complexity.
Securely monitor remote files and directories. New, existing, modified, deleted changes, file count and size. From anywhere via SFTP with SCP and SSH modes, FTP with Plain, Explicit and Implicit modes, Amazon S3 with access and secret keys, and WebDAV with Plain and SSL · TLS modes. To make your connection more secure, configure allowed server fingerprints and trusted CA certificates.
Automatic zip compression and unzip extraction with multi-core processor support for efficient archive management. This enterprise-level solution easily handles archives of virtually unlimited size, Unicode characters in file names, and AES-256 encryption. As well as formats popular on Unix/Linux/BSD, such as Tar, Gzip and Bzip2.

Powerful

A powerful set of almost 40 file operations with file and folder listing, copying, moving, renaming, deleting, content saving and retrieving, as well as remote file upload and download.
Features powerful Start application and Run DOS command Actions. That provide the user with the means for both executing Windows command interpreter commands and connecting with almost any application already deployed within the company’s IT infrastructure.
Designed with multi-core processors in mind, it implements Task execution strategies that allow unlimited Task parallelizing.
Powerful error handling options allow the user to avoid or circumvent issues by running additional predefined Tasks automatically.

Realtime

The Operations manager provides real-time data on memory use, active Triggers, executed Tasks, and service uptime. That allow you to ensure that the system is running in optimally.
The Queue manager provides an overview of all currently running and pending Tasks.
Take automation even further with System Startup Trigger, which automates Tasks that are executed upon either system startup or shutdown.

Smart and unattended

Once set up, Automation Workshop runs fully unattended in the background as a Windows service without requiring to log in.
User Logon Trigger allows monitoring the logins or logoffs of any user. Furthermore, the Tasks include an advanced Run As settings. That allows Task execution with different credentials and within different user environments.
The application is designed with energy efficiency in mind and is perfectly suited for all platforms, from servers to laptops.

Changes in Automation Workshop 7.0.0:

New

Added 4 new Actions that works with Windows services and drivers:
- Tweak Service – adjust the service startup types (manual, automatic, delayed, or disabled).
- Service Information – retrieve essential service details, like the short and display name, full description, executable, command line arguments, present status, and startup settings.
- If Service – lets you execute one group of Actions when a specific service is in a certain state, and a different group of Actions when it is not. You can compare the service status against: is running, is stopped, is paused, is disabled, is installed.
- Wait for Service – lets you pause a workflow temporarily until the particular service reaches a certain status, such as running, stopped, paused, and so on.
Added 4 new Actions for application and background process management:
- Tweak App – enables your automated workflow to fine-tune CPU affinity by pinning certain programs to specific CPU cores. It works with large systems having 64+ logical processors and multiple Sockets / NUMA nodes. Additionally you can adjust CPU priority and boost for any process, to achieve peak performance.
- App Information – collects data points about running applications/processes and shares it with other Actions. The data includes—the app name, version, Process ID, memory used, CPU time, priority and boost, bound CPU groups, and more.
- If App – allows executing different sections of a workflow depending on whether a specific program is active or not.
- Wait for App – pauses a workflow until a certain application is running or has exited.

Fixed

Actions that offer the option to store their output in a variable no longer consume extra memory if no destination variable is selected.
Connect to FTP Action wrongly attempts to reconnect when there is an error not related to network issues.
When the Service Agent was experiencing minor (yet expected) communication issues with the Automation Workshop Service, these events were wrongly logged as errors in Windows Event Log, instead of regular info events.
From now on, if writing to the regular log file does not work, the error Event 2250 is recorded in Windows Event Log once.
The Remote Queue and Remote Operations Manager context menus sometimes mistakenly appeared in the top left corner of the Desktop.
Remote Log Manger UI fix – after connecting, the remote endpoint name is correctly displayed in the window title.

Improved

The Process & App Monitor Trigger is now using the smart detection algorithm to prevent triggering on applications and background processes that are being terminated.
The Task Scheduler tooltip always formats the list (tooltip) of next execution dates.
The Terminate App Action now allows ending all child processes related to the specified application.
Updated functionality for all FTP & Cloud Actions:
- The Upload File and Download File Actions improve their configuration experience by auto-detecting a remote directory when a filename seems to be specified (without an ending slash).
- The Upload File, Download File, Move Remote File, and Delete Remote File Actions now supports using file lists, as well as combined lists with files and wildcards.
- The Remove Remote Directory and Create Remote Directory Actions permit flexible syntax—you can specify a directory with or without the ending slash.
- From now on, all remote file and folder operations for DigitalOcean cloud will automatically resume file transfers after a short delay when encountering the “reduce your request rate” error.
Enhancements in the Task Properties – Actions (workflow) list:
- Visual cue (a tiny arrow) is displayed for each Action that directly stores its output value in the user selected variable.
- You can now scroll the view up and down using CTRL+Arrow keys (the same as the mouse wheel).
- Now has a flicker-free redrawing on mouse cursor movement.
Multiple new features in Variable Wizard:
- Variable Wizard UI seamlessly uses the full height window (if the Task editing mode is set to maximized).
- The Use Web Content feature detects XML files and properly changes them to plain text.
- The Delete Remote File variable Last File returns an actually deleted file when possible.
- The Start App and Run CMD Command Action now has a new Process ID variable.
- The Read from File Action adds a new Text Length variable and the choice to store file content directly into a variable.
Further improvements in Queue Manager:
- New advanced Task removing options that are accessible via the context menu—remove all Task instances, terminate all Tasks, pause all running Tasks, and more.
- Task elapsed time, while the Task is running, and during clock changes (e.g., DST), is shown as an approximation.
- Significantly improved the readability of Finished Task details.
A lot of UI refinements:
- The Mini Start Menu is available for all App Actions (like Start, Terminate, Tweak, etc.). The menu has been improved (more compact layout excluding empty items) to effortlessly choose an application.
- The autocomplete feature now correctly suggests folders (excluding files) while choosing folders from the input fields.
- Minor UI improvements – Task creation Wizard, Task importing, all the Dialog Actions, About box, etc.
- The Search Menu minor enhancements (current language and updated aliases).
- Numerous small UI improvements and adjustments based on user feedback.
The Automation Workshop help menu introduces the Localized Pages section – instantly access multiple knowledge base resources in your preferred language.

Changed

Changes and improvements in Advanced Fallback – each retry wait time gets longer; the retrying Task can be stopped right away.
The Arithmetic Action will attempt to calculate the result even if a non-valid input value is given.
Read from File Action now reads up to 250MB by default, instead of 100MB.
The Start App and Run CMD Command Action variable names slightly refined.
