    Hello ,

    What do you mean by uploaded to a certain folder? Is it dynamically changed based on the file uploaded? Is this complete process within Appian?

    If it's within Appian(Same Environment) then you can have your category and file values validated in a XOR and make a decision to run a process using a subprocess or a start process else would not. 

    If it is something on a different environment you can use webAPI to do the same. 

    Not aware of any other methods than these two. May be the above answers might help.
