Copy sample data files

A useful practice is to create a secondary flow with inject nodes that trigger copying of sample data files into the watched folder. This offers a convenient way to test different input scenarios, without leaving the OL Connect Automate interface or manually copying files on your computer.

This method allows for repeatable, controlled testing of a flow using folder capture, and is particularly effective when validating logic against different data set sizes or handling files with incorrect or unexpected data.

A flow using multiple sample data files as inject nodes, connecting to a file operations node and a debug node. This is above a flow that uses the folder capture, all in one, write file and debug all in one nodes.
