Event Triggers

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

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

• Cloud object monitor is similar to Folder Monitor, but is used to monitor folders in your cloud storage

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

• Workspaces-related Events, such as User Invited

• Secure File Send events, such as Message Not Sent

• 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

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

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

• Event Rule Subroutine Event

• REST Invocation Event

Not all variables are available with every Event trigger. For example, it does not make sense to use the %EVENT.REASON% variable with a 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 (for example, %EVENT.TIME% is not suitable for file naming and %FS.REPORT_FILE% should not be used in email notifications).

Refer to Which Actions can be Added to which Events for details of added Actions to Events.
