I need to send 24 hours of data from 10 devices, every midnight to AWS.  
I have started setting up a notebook, but all I really need to send is the file as defined Input file for the notebook.  
Can I have an “empty” notebook without a output file? Would that even execute?

@Lars_Andersson,

Yes. You can create a notebook that moves a file from the input directory to the output directory (in Python).

After the Notebook is done, you can [trigger a workflow](https://docs.losant.com/workflows/triggers/notebook/) to then forward along your data to AWS.

One thing to keep in mind, when you get the outputs of a Notebook in a Workflow. You don’t get the raw data, you get a download link to the raw data. See more in the docs:
