How To: Launch a Script with an Event


Question

Is it possible to have Titan SFTP Server launch a custom script from an event?


Reasoning

I have several actions needed to be performed which Titan does not have a native action for, therefore, I have written a script which will perform all of the actions and I need Titan SFTP Server automation to launch the script.


Answer

In Titan SFTP Server, you can create an event with a specific trigger and then add an action to launch a custom script.


Steps

  1. Navigate to Events and click on the + icon.
  2. Select an event trigger that best fits your needs. In this example, I have chosen a scheduled event.
  3. Select Actions and click on Add Actions.
  4. Select the action “Spawn Process to run job” and browse to said script and fill in any needed parameters.
