  • Is the file being uploaded to a folder by a different (non-Appian Process) method? If so you could:

    • have a process that runs on a schedule that polls the folder and uses SFTP to move the file to Appian and start another process to process the file
    • the non-Appian process that places the file into the folder could also trigger an Appian process (via a WebAPI) to process the file as per the previous option
