Similar to SQL LIKE with no wildcard at the front. This can lead to issues if dropping more than 1 file to the location meeting the pattern (Thanks to Michal Rzepka who runs v and Rafał Pawelec) *Important note – using contains will not process the files in queue order but instead in what appears to be a random selection. Using pattern (contains bus) will succeed for: Similar to LIKE in SQL and just looks for if those characters exist in that order in any file. To ‘test the automation, you will need to drop a file while it is Active. This pauses the trigger or activates it to allow for editing without distortion of output. There is no ‘run once’ option in File Drop Automations, it instead uses ‘Active’ and ‘Inactive’.You can have multiple automations running on a single folder, but they cannot be triggered off the same file. (Thanks to James Lamb for the note on this) If you export a file via another automation to sit on the SFMC SFTP, a File Drop automation will NOT pick it up.Changing the file name on the FTP or things such as File Transfers from Safehouse, etc.It is not recommended to use the Import or Export folders for this activity, but to instead create custom subdirectories for these automations.File Drop Automations will only work on the SFMC Enhanced FTP and not 3rd party FTPs.Your account needs to use the Enhanced FTP in order to use File Drop Automations.There are a few considerations you should be aware of when dealing with File Drop Automations: This type of automation is used for when you need immediate actions completed based on file being loaded to the FTP.Īs a note though, this will only read off of the Salesforce Marketing Cloud FTP and will not work with 3rd party FTPs. They used to be called “Triggered Automations”. These automations are ‘triggered’ automations that read off of a file being loaded onto the SFMC FTP.
