MFT Event Filter

Connect iPaaS enables you to select specific events and filter out the rest using certain attributes from the incoming MFT event. This ability allows selective processing of the events of interest.

Example Scenario with MFT Trigger

For trigger "Extract Records From New Or Updated CSV Files"

The CSV column headers added by the user will act as the fields available for trigger filters, you can construct complex logic of AND (+) and OR (OR) conditions on the column header. In the example shown below, the workflow will be triggered only when the Department column header contains Dev and the Status column header is False or the ID column header is greater than 10.

Figure 1. Event Filtering for MFT node "Extract Records From New Or Updated CSV Files"

For trigger "Get New or Updated Files"

For this trigger, we are not able to know the file format in advance. Therefore the available filter options are the metadata of the file.

In the example shown below, the workflow will be triggered only when the Filename equals Details, File Size(bytes) greater than 500, and File Data contains Urgent.
