.. admonition:: 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.
