Switching PDf Connectors

I understand this may be hard to explain over text but I’m going to try my best:

I have two pdf connectors that are templates of forms for data to be extracted and pasted into excel. The automation itself runs beautifully for manually selecting files and using system watcher to listen for files being dropped in specific folders (thanks Tricia). Currently I built the automation so that each pdfconnector has its own group of sub automations that talk. I was wondering if there was a way to just make one automation for each subautomation and have pega decide which pdfconnector that needs to be used based off of their identifiers or if its just best to leave the automation as it is. Like I said the automation works just fine but I’m curious if its better to build it as one giant solution than a bunch of little parts.

@JahriC17390650I have found that smaller pieces are almost always better. They are easier to fully test. Once you know that your automation will work with all sorts of inputs, you can then consume it in a larger automation and be certain that it will work with whatever you pass to it.
