How To: Move Files with an event



Question

How do move a file with an event?


Reasoning

When files are uploaded, there may be a requirement to copy or move those files to another internal location for other internal automations to process that file, or you may want to just archive the file so you can have a backup. 


Answer

You can create an event in Titan to move a file once it is uploaded. You can then specify the target destination being another local folder or a UNC path and have the event move the file automatically.


Steps


  1. Navigate to the Events section and click on add button. 




  1. Select an event trigger, in this example, we will choose “File upload/write” and click on Next.


  1. Add any conditions if necessary. When done, click on Next.







  1. Click on “Move to new location” action and configure the parameters such as the destination path as seen below and click on OK when done.



  1. Click on Next.


  1. Give the Event Handler a name and a description. You can click on the “Test Fire” button to confirm if the event is working correctly. 




  1. Click on Finish.
