Copying new files to a directory

I'm working on a Hazel action that takes newly added files in folder 'A', and copies them over to folder 'B'. Simple enough. However, I intend to be deleting files out of folder 'B' and I don't want Hazel to re-add them when it checks for files to act on. I can't seem to find anything on this.

Any suggestions?

If you have it only copy when the file is first added, then I believe that should do what you want. Use a condition like "Date added is after date last matched".

Thanks for the reply, that's exactly the parameter I couldn't find.

However I'm now realizing there's more problems than I realized with what I'm trying to do. I think I'll make a new thread for my new issues though, since it's an entirely different and more complex problem.
