Send files

The Send files module lets you upload a file to the platform to trigger a workflow execution. It is used to trigger a workflow manually on a file, for example to test without waiting for the next trigger pass.

Before you begin

• Have a File trigger configured and deployed in the target environment — see File trigger.
• Know the format expected by the trigger.

Send a file

1. Click Send files.
2. Select the file trigger to use.
3. Select the execution environment.
4. Upload the file, in the format expected by the trigger.
5. Click Send the file: the execution starts.

What you get

The workflow execution starts on the uploaded file. You can follow it in the traces.
