Create a new Calendar Alarm.
Create Calendar Alarm

Drag and drop the ffs_batch file on the workflow panel.
Drop FreeFileSync batch file in Automator

Drag and drop action Files & Folders/Open Finder Items and add it to the workflow.
Add open Finder items

Go to File → Save... and save the Automator job.
Save Automator job

The Calendar app will start automatically with the Automator job scheduled to the current day. You can now select a different time for synchronization or make it a recurring task.
Edit batch job in Calendar

Following the above from the instructions as my set up.

When I try to test it in automator > I click the run button and it brings up the filesync with my settings and scans but does not actually start the syncing. Am I missing a parameter set somewhere?

My expectation is it runs the sync and not just scans. Is this possible?
