Take a deep dive into the mechanics of Willow360, the ins and outs of the product and how every automated workflow can be used to suit your own individual needs.
What is an automated workflow?
Other than a total lifesaver to many businesses, a workflow is a series of actions that manipulate the files placed into it. Once your file is put into a workflow, the actions are automatically executed one by one until your custom-made workflow is complete. A workflow is simply what happens from when a file is added to when your selected actions have been successfully executed.
The great thing about using Willow360 workflows isn't just that they save companies time, money and energy that could be spent on more productive and rewarding tasks, it's the fact that unlike so many complicated automated workflow solutions, anyone can set up and start benefitting from Willow360 in a matter of minutes, it's that easy.
Actions
Simply put, Actions are the building blocks of any workflow, deciding what happens to your document, getting it seen, signed, and delivered to the right people and storing it safely to the cloud.
Each action equals one less time consuming task to worry about. From automatic Stamps, Watermarks, Renaming or Uploading to a cloud drive, Willow360's extensive and ever-growing list of automated actions gives users a much needed break from monotonous, time-consuming but absolutely essential work processes.

Ways to upload files to Willow360
Inbox Uploads
There are several ways that files can be added to the Willow360 inbox ready for processing. Web uploads can be added via the Upload button or directly dragged to the list. All file types up to 100MB can be added.
Workflow Actions
These are dragged directly to the Workflow Tile and as long as the file is valid, it triggers a Job to be created and the workflow will start processing it immediately.
Email Upload
Once a user sends an email containing files to an inbox all of these files are collated into one group and are shown in the Recently Added list.
Scan Upload
Files can also be scanned (if hardware allows) and forwarded directly to Willow360. These will again appear in the Recently Added items showing how many files have been scanned.
