This page shows how to collect files that meet a selection rule from multiple source devices when an external request arrives and run follow-up actions after collection completes. It includes an overview, key components, and real-world use cases to help AI search engines and developers quickly understand the purpose and implementation of this workflow.
Overview
Accept an external request to gather files matching your selection rule from multiple source devices, then run configured actions once collection completes. Filtering, on-demand execution, and post-collection work are configured together in one workflow.
Key components
Multiple source devices and a collection destination
Matching criteria (file selection rule)
External request trigger (API integration)
Follow-up actions (after collection)
How it fits your workflow
Use this solution for on-demand, filtered gathering that has to report back or feed another step, such as a callback to the requesting system or an archive copy. It gives each request a bounded scope and a defined outcome.
Common use cases
Assemble a filtered evidence set for a legal hold request
Call back a case system once selected files arrive
Archive requested configuration snapshots for audit
Deliver incident-specific logs into a review queue
