Start From Hot Folder
With this node, a workable will be created when a new file appears or when an existing file is updated in a specified folder.
It has the following configuration options:
- Hot folder: here you can specify the folder that will be monitored for new or updated files.
- Settling time: here you can specify the minimum number of seconds that should elapse before the actual processing on the file begins. This is necessary when large files are copied or when copying is slow, and processing should wait until the file is completely copied.
- Enabled: if you select this checkbox, the hotfolder will be monitored. If you do not select it, the hotfolder will not be monitored.
- Enable "Deleted File" handler: if you select this checkbox, a workable is created when files are deleted from this folder. An extra node output Deleted Files is created when you select Save. The workable is sent to this output. The workable contains a URL, which is the URL of the deleted file, but be aware that the file itself does no longer exist.
- Workable name: here you can specify the name to assign to the created workable. Leave this parameter empty if you do not have a specific name to assign. Select the pencil to open Expression Builder.
- Jacket name: here you can specify a jacket name that will be searched. If found, the new workable will be linked to the jacket. If not found, a new jacket will be created, and the specified name will be assigned to it. Leave this parameter empty if you do not want to link to an existing jacket. Select the pencil to open Expression Builder.
- Priority: in this drop-down list you can specify the priority to assign to the created workable.
- User: here you can specify the created by user to assign to the created workable. Select the pencil to open Expression Builder.
