.. note::
**TargetSmart Developer API versus Automation**
Unless TargetSmart has provided a custom workflow solution for you, you can
ignore the Automation information.
TargetSmart's Developer API provides an HTTP-based interface for consuming the
general web services that TargetSmart provides. The TargetSmart Automation
system solely provides a solution for consuming customized file processing
workflows that are provisioned for specific client needs. TargetSmart Automation
is based on SFTP instead of HTTP.
