In the following we discuss all automation options:

Access the settings
The automation settings are accessible from the project Settings pages:
...
Click Disable to disable any automatic operations. You can again enable them to restore all settings.
Frequency
Specify the time interval in which Beebox will run all enabled automatic operations. When testing you may choose 10 seconds or 1 minute. In production you would opt for 30 minutes or more. If you have a lot of projects, then your Beebox may become unresponsive if all projects are configured with very short time intervals such as 10 seconds.
...
Execute only when triggered manually with the Start Autorun link or the API:
Source Files
Use to automate the detection of new or changed files added to the project.
...
Note: If you send files via the API you should not tick the first option.
Machine Translation
With new or changed files you can instruct the Beebox to translate any content not pretranslated from memories with a machine- or pseudo-translation system.
...
Preliminary translations mean that Beebox creates translated files from the memory and machine translated content. These preliminary files are saved to the project "OUT" directory with ".prelim" inserted into the file name. For example source file "folder\marketing.docx" will be saved as "folder\marketing.prelim.docx".
Jobs
Jobs refer to human translation work. Translations that are not approved at this workflow stage can automatically be sent to a translation team, a Wordbee Translator platform or a third party TMS.
In this screen we have disabled automatic job creation:
Target Files
This step is to automatically create and save translated files once all its content (segments) are approved.
Maintenance
These are operations that clean up data.
The following option simply deletes files older than a few months from disk. The translated content is NOT removed from the project memory.
Scripting
You can develop a Powershell script to do custom work whenever source files are added/changed or translated files are created. For example, your script could transfer translated files to another location.
