Swiftask connects your AI agents to FileStack to automate file cleanup. Free up storage space and maintain data compliance without manual effort.
Result:
Lower your storage costs and eliminate risks associated with obsolete data through intelligent automation.
Uncontrolled file accumulation in FileStack
Without an automated retention policy, your FileStack storage quickly becomes a data graveyard. Between forgotten temporary files, duplicates, and obsolete documents, you pay for useless storage while increasing your compliance risks.
Main negative impacts:
Swiftask deploys AI agents that continuously scan your FileStack folders. They apply your retention rules to identify and delete obsolete files securely.
BEFORE / AFTER
What changes with Swiftask
Manual file management
An administrator must periodically audit folders, list outdated files, verify their relevance, and delete them one by one. It is a time-consuming task, prone to human error, and often neglected.
Intelligent cleanup with Swiftask
Your AI agent analyzes the metadata of every file upon upload. If expiration criteria are met, it archives or deletes the file instantly, without any human intervention.
Automate your FileStack maintenance in 4 steps
STEP 1 : Define your purge criteria
Configure your agent in Swiftask by specifying rules: file age, extension type, or specific tags.
STEP 2 : Connect your FileStack account
Authenticate your FileStack account in Swiftask through a secure connection limited to the necessary folders.
STEP 3 : Schedule execution
Determine if the agent should work in real-time (upon upload) or via a daily schedule to minimize impact.
STEP 4 : Validate and monitor
Activate the agent and track deletion logs directly in the Swiftask dashboard for total visibility.
Intelligent data management capabilities
The agent examines the creation date, last access, and business context associated with each file in FileStack.
Each action is contextualized and executed automatically at the right time.
Each Swiftask agent uses a dedicated identity (e.g. agent-filestack@swiftask.ai ). You keep full visibility on every action and every sent message.
Key takeaway: The agent automates repetitive decisions and leaves high-value actions to your teams.
