Automations Logs

This log shows the status and details of all automations triggered in your site. Possible automation operations can include copy, move, delete, create folder, import file, and run sync.

This log provides comprehensive information for each automation run, including the start time, automation ID, operation type, source and destination paths, and the current status. It also displays the Automation Run ID, which links to detailed logs for each action performed. You can view informational messages and error details if any failures occur, making it easy to track and troubleshoot automated activities.
