Q: As a designer I am not familiar with code or logic.
I need to run only on my mac: find all files created with a specific program, open it and save the file as another file. Can I achieve that?

To create automations, you need to understand logic and might need to use some very basic JavaScript code with our Function node. This is a low-code tool that processes outputs from various steps. For example, you might use the List Directory node to get a list, filter the items, and then process them within your flows.
Can you do it? Absolutely. Many non-technical people in our community have learned to use the tool and some simple JavaScript (like assignments or string operations) for their daily tasks. However, learning the tool does require time and dedication, so it’s best to start with small projects.
If you're only looking to achieve this specific automation, the tool might be overkill. But if you plan to automate other tasks in the future, it's definitely worth it.
Another option, which many AppSumo users have taken, is to hire a freelancer to automate important, repetitive tasks for their business. You can join our Discord community at https://community.robomotion.io, where you can find freelancers in the #jobs-posts channel.
Best,
