EASYMORPH SERVER COMMAND

Category: Workflow / App/Cloud


Description

This action allows interaction with a remote EasyMorph Server using a configured EasyMorph Server connector. Currently, the action has 6 commands:


Use cases

The action can be used to interoperate with an EasyMorph Server from Desktop projects. For example, heavy data processing can be offloaded from a low-memory desktop computer to a high-memory Server. In this case EasyMorph Server Command can be used to upload files to the Server, trigger a Server task that processes them, then download the resulting data from the Server to the local machine.

Use integrations that are set up on the Server, but not available on the local machine. In this case, the action can trigger a Server task that in turn pulls data from an external system, then download the data to the local machine.
