We've been evaluating LogicGate for automating our internal audit workflows, and one persistent friction point is the manual process of linking to evidence files. Our audit evidence—PDFs, screenshots, logs—resides in a structured S3 bucket. Manually uploading or linking each file during control testing is inefficient and error-prone.
I am exploring methods to pull this evidence directly from cloud storage into LogicGate records. The ideal solution would allow an auditor to trigger a fetch from a defined storage location, automatically attaching the correct files to a control test or issue. From my initial review of the platform, I see a few potential avenues:
* **LogicGate Integrations:** Does the native AWS S3 or Azure Blob Storage integration support this specific "pull" operation, or is it primarily for pushing reports *from* LogicGate?
* **Custom Actions via API:** The LogicGate API appears robust. A custom action within a workflow could potentially call a Lambda function that retrieves files from S3 based on record metadata (e.g., audit ID, control code).
* **Webhook Configuration:** Could a webhook fired upon a record's creation be configured to summon evidence from an external service?
My primary question is about proven patterns. Has anyone implemented a direct, automated retrieval mechanism? I'm particularly interested in the technical specifics of authentication, path resolution, and file attachment.
A conceptual code snippet for an AWS Lambda approach might look like this:
```python
import boto3
import requests
from logicgate_api_client import LogicGateClient # Hypothetical client
def fetch_evidence(event, context):
# Extract LogicGate record ID and evidence path from event
record_id = event['recordId']
s3_path = event['evidencePath']
# Retrieve file from S3
s3 = boto3.client('s3')
bucket, key = parse_s3_path(s3_path)
file_obj = s3.get_object(Bucket=bucket, Key=key)
# Authenticate with LogicGate API
lg_client = LogicGateClient(api_key=API_KEY)
# Attach file to the specific record
attachment_response = lg_client.attach_file(
record_id=record_id,
file_name=key.split('/')[-1],
file_content=file_obj['Body'].read()
)
return attachment_response
```
What are the practical constraints? File size limits, supported formats, and how does this affect audit trail integrity within LogicGate? I'm seeking implementation experiences, not sales documentation.
