Available Actions

Once an Event Rule is triggered, assuming all Conditions are met, EFT can launch one or more of the following user-definable Actions:

• Execute command in folder - The custom command in a specific location is triggered.

• Send notification e-mail - An e-mail message is sent to the address specified.

• Stop processing - If the previous trigger or Condition occurs, stop processing this Rule (default), more Rules, or this Rule and more Rules:

• this rule - this Rule is not processed.

• more rules - this is Rule is processed but no further Rules are processed.

• this and more rules - no more Rules are processed.

• OpenPGP operations - (Requires OpenPGP module) The designated cryptographic action is performed on the file.

• Generate Report - (Requires database and Auditing and Reporting module) A report is generated and e-mailed or saved to a file at a specific date and time.

• Copy/Move (push) file to host - The designated file is automatically moved to another location.

When EFT performs a copy/move Action, the folder from which the files are moved remains and is emptied, but not deleted.

Download (pull) file from host - Downloads a specified file.

• Execute Advanced Workflow  - An Advanced Workflow is triggered.

• Cleanup in folder - Cleans up a specified folder

• Cloud Object Monitor - supports transfers from/to Amazon S3 and Azure containers including advanced settings like multi-part, encryption, requestor-pay, and others.

• AS2 Send file to host Action - You can send files via AS2 to a partner that does not have inbound access defined in EFT’s account management system. For details of the AS2 Send file to host Action, refer to Sending Files to an AS2 Partner.

• Backup Server Configuration Action -  Automatically backs up EFT configuration for use in disaster recovery or EFT migration.

• Write to Windows Event Log Action - Defines the parameters to display in the Windows Event Log when the Event is triggered.

• Scan file using Content Integrity Control - Used to send a file to an antivirus or data loss prevention scanner for processing.

• Perform folder operation - Create, rename, or delete specified folder. Optionally use specified credentials.

• Perform file operation - Create, rename, or delete specified file. Optionally use specified credentials.

• De/Compress file to/from target file - Compress or decompress file in the format of Zip, 7Zip, Gzip, Bzip2, Tar, Tar and Gzip, or ZCompress. You can also add context variables to the Action.

• Invoke Web Service from URL - GET, POST, PUT, DELETE at a specific URL and save the response to a specific file. This new Event Rule Action for invoking Web Services will extend the ability for EFT to integrate with backend systems.

• Copy/Move/Download to/from cloud storage.

• User Account Action - Lock, disable, ban, delete, or kick user account
