Frequently Asked Questions

Common Questions & Solutions

Find quick answers to the most common questions about using ArchiveFlow effectively.

Getting Started

How do I connect my first platform?

Navigate to the Connections page from your dashboard, click "Connect" on your desired platform (like Airtable or Trello), authorize ArchiveFlow access, and configure your sync preferences. The connection process typically takes 2-3 minutes.

What platforms are supported?

We support Airtable, Trello, ClickUp, Notion, Monday.com, Asana, and Smartsheet. Each platform offers different integration features like real-time sync, custom fields, and rich media support.

Is my data secure during transfer?

Yes, all data transfers use end-to-end encryption. We follow enterprise-grade security practices and never store your platform credentials. All connections use secure OAuth protocols.

How often does data sync?

Sync frequency is configurable per platform. Options range from real-time (for supported platforms) to scheduled intervals like hourly, daily, or weekly based on your needs and subscription tier.

Automation & Rules

How do automation rules work?

Rules automatically perform actions based on triggers you define. For example, files older than 90 days can be automatically archived, or large files can be compressed and moved to long-term storage.

Can I test rules before activating them?

Absolutely! Every rule can be tested with sample data before activation. The test mode shows you exactly what would happen without making actual changes to your data.

What happens if a rule fails?

Failed rules are automatically logged and you'll receive notifications. The system will retry failed actions and provide detailed error information to help you troubleshoot and fix issues.

Can I create complex multi-step workflows?

Yes, the advanced rule builder allows you to create complex workflows with multiple conditions, actions, and conditional logic. You can chain actions together for sophisticated data management processes.

Data Management

How do I restore archived data?

Go to the Archives section, search or browse for your data, select the items you want to restore, and click "Restore". You can restore to the original location or choose a new destination.

What file types are supported?

ArchiveFlow supports all common file types including documents (PDF, DOC, TXT), images (JPG, PNG, GIF), videos (MP4, AVI, MOV), and archives (ZIP, RAR, TAR). Large files are automatically compressed.

How much storage do I get?

Storage limits depend on your subscription tier. The starter plan includes 10GB, professional plans offer 100GB-1TB, and enterprise plans provide unlimited storage with custom retention policies.

Can I search through archived content?

Yes, we provide powerful search capabilities including full-text search through document contents, metadata filtering, date ranges, file types, and custom tags for quick data discovery.

Team & Billing

How do I invite team members?

From your dashboard, go to Team settings, click "Invite Members", enter email addresses, and assign roles (Admin, Editor, or Viewer). Invited members receive an email with setup instructions.

What are the different user roles?

Admins have full access including billing and team management. Editors can create rules and manage data. Viewers can only browse and search archives. Permissions can be customized per data source.

Can I upgrade or downgrade my plan?

Yes, you can change your subscription tier at any time from the billing section. Upgrades are immediate, and downgrades take effect at the next billing cycle with data migration assistance.

Do you offer enterprise features?

Enterprise plans include SSO integration, custom retention policies, dedicated support, API access, white-label options, and compliance features for regulated industries.
