Sure, automated data import and workflow execution is certainly possible. In addition to the documentation there are several example scripts in the /scripts/api directory of your galaxy install. In particular, for your use case, you may want to have a look at example_watch_folder.py. This script watches a specified folder for any new files, uploads them to a galaxy data library, and then triggers the execution of a predefined workflow on the data. I wouldn't implement your pipeline exactly like in that script, but it's designed to illustrate a few specific examples without being overly complicated.
