I know it’s not currently possible to set up an automation app that takes a user uploaded file as input, but i was wondering if anyone has gone down the route of using a workspace app to upload a file and then having that workspace trigger an automation via the rest api sending the details of the uploaded file location?

It would be possible. We’ve been doing something similar where a Workspace App handles a file upload, then passes it through to subsequent ‘stages’ (a custom html/js app and then back into FME)
