Using Wildcards Incorrectly (v1)

When wildcards appear in Automations v1 folder paths, the matching pattern has to line up with the files you want to act on.

For example, if you want to copy all files and folders under Partners/Invoices/ and you set the Folder path to Partners/Invoices/ in the workflow, the automation copies files in subfolders of Invoices but not files directly inside Invoices itself. To include both, add a wildcard pattern using * or **.

If a v1 Automation's folder path is on a Mounted Folder or Remote Server, folder path globs such as * and ** for including subfolders are only supported with file-action triggers. Other trigger types return the error Globs are not supported on remote path.
