Multiple automation for the same folder. Is it possible?

[AndreiBarta]

Hi, Dropbox community,

I have a question, is there a posibility to add multiple automation for the same folder?

Hi @AndreiBarta, how are you today?

To answer your automation question, no you shouldn't be able to. You can add multiple naming rules to the folder of your choice though. 

I hope that clarifies!

Hi @Megan 

When i want to add one more automation i have just edit automation option and in the edit window i can't even edit the automation

Hi @AndreiBarta, this happens because you've chosen an automation. You wouldn't be able to add more. You should be able to use multiple naming conventions on a folder, but not different automations.  

As for editing the automation, you'd need to remove it, and then add the one you want.

Hi,

for example is not possible to add these automations:

1. convert a file in pdf

2. rename the file as mm-dd-yy.pdf

to the same folder?

Hey @Gualtieri, you are correct; only one automation can be added to a folder at this time.
