How to setup the connection
Set the trigger of your automation to Triggerless > External.
Install EasyEdit2 (version 2.5 or up) on you computer, if its not installed already.
Open the EasyEdit menu and select 'UpFolder Manager'
Select 'Add Automation'.
This opens the file explorer, allowing you to select the folder that should be integrated with the automation.
Then, select the automation that should be triggered from the list of available flows from the Workflow Editor.
Now, any file that is uploaded to the linked folder will automatically trigger the designated automation, without the need for manual intervention.
Note that for an automation to connect directly to EasyEdit, it should have 'Triggerless - External' trigger.
