Upload Widget Handling

Filestack provides a ready-made upload interface a developer can drop into an app, handling the file picker, drag and drop, and progress display without custom code. A Beam agent watches for a completed upload through that widget, reads the file's metadata such as type and size, and applies the approved rule for where that file should go, storing it or forwarding it to a connected destination. This removes the step of a developer wiring up storage logic for every upload path. Files failing to upload, or arriving in a format the workflow doesn't recognize, are reported to a person instead of stored silently.

Image and Document Conversion

Filestack can convert a file on the way out, resizing an image or changing a document format, without a developer running that conversion separately. A Beam agent requests the conversion a workflow needs, such as a thumbnail size for a product image, based on the rule a team has approved, and files the resulting version alongside the original so both remain available. This keeps a workflow from needing its own image processing step for routine conversions. Requests that fail, or that ask for a format the account isn't configured to produce, are handed to a person to resolve.

Content Moderation Checks

Filestack can check an uploaded file against a program's content rules before it's stored or shared further. A Beam agent reads the moderation result Filestack returns for a given upload, and where the file passes, files it against the record the upload was tied to; where it doesn't, the agent blocks the file from being stored and notifies the person responsible for that workflow. This keeps a flagged file from reaching a shared destination before anyone reviews it. Files with a borderline result, or where the account's moderation settings are inconclusive, are held for a person to decide.
