Event Triggers

EFT includes over 25 different Event triggers, based on the following Event types:

  • AS2-related Events, such as the transfer was successfully completed (available only in EFT Enterprise)

  • Connection-related Events, such as a user connections failed

  • File system-related Events, such as file uploaded or file deleted

  • Operating System-related Events, such as a folder’s contents changed or a recurring Timer has executed

  • Server-related Events, such as Server stopped or started

  • Site-related Events, such as Site stopped or started

  • User-related Events, such as User Account Locked

  • Workspaces-related Events, such as User Invited

Not all variables are available with every Event trigger. For example, it does not make sense to use the %EVENT.REASON% variable with the File Downloaded Event, but it does make sense with the Upload Failed Event, because EFT can determine the reason for the failure.

Refer to Variables for a description of each variable and caveats (e.g., %EVENT.TIME% is not suitable for file naming and %FS.REPORT_FILE% should not be used in e-mail notifications).
