Introduction

The JS7 - File Watching is used to automatically start a workflow when file arrives in a directory. JS7 Agents on any platform can continuously watch for incoming files and add an order for each file.

Workflow

  • starts the jdFileWatchingFork workflow by adding one order for each file created.
