Local Files Integration

Learn how to create file integrations that monitor and process files in local directories using WSO2 Integrator: BI.

Local files integration allows you to monitor directories for file events and trigger automated workflows when files are created, modified, or deleted. This is ideal for:

  • Automated file processing pipelines
  • Event-driven file synchronization
  • Real-time file monitoring and alerting

Develop a Local Files Integration

  1. In WSO2 Integrator: BI design view, click the + Add Artifact button.

  2. Select Local Files under the File Integration category.

  3. Enter the path to the directory you want to monitor. For example, /user/home/Downloads.

    Use configurable variables

    Use a configurable variable for the path (e.g., monitorPath) so it can be changed at deployment time without code changes. See Managing Configurations for more details.

  4. Click the Create button to create the local files integration.
