# Transfer Family Workflow

AWS Transfer Family Workflow is a managed resource that defines and automates file transfer processes within AWS Transfer Family. It allows you to create workflows that perform actions such as copying, tagging, or invoking AWS Lambda functions when files are uploaded or downloaded. This helps streamline data processing, enforce compliance, and integrate file transfers with other AWS services.
