- Launch multi-input extraction when a course file arrives.
- Use your configured robot and input parameters.
- Collect results in one reported bulk run.
Setup

Questions about this workflow
Can the task inputs come directly from the file?
The action requires input parameters, but the listed event and action do not specify reading file contents. Provide the URLs or input set in your instruction.
How should I keep the scan focused?
Specify a bounded set of sources and the exact information the configured robot should extract.
