    Three steps to a running FTP / SFTP workflow

    The builder keeps the order you think in: connect the app, choose what starts the workflow, add what should happen.

    1. Connect

      Authorise FTP / SFTP once

      Add a FTP / SFTP connection under Connects and reuse it in every workflow. Credentials stay in your WordPress database.

    2. Trigger

      Pick what starts it

      Start from a FTP / SFTP event, or from a WordPress event, a form, a webhook, a schedule or any of the 918+ integrations, then capture a sample so later steps can map real fields.

    3. Act

      Add FTP / SFTP steps and logic

      Chain FTP / SFTP actions with Router, Filter, Iterator and Delay, test each step against captured data, then switch the workflow on.

    FTP / SFTP workflows people build

    Each example pairs FTP / SFTP with an app it is often used with. Build any of them on the canvas, or start from the workflow library.

    It's an exceptional product. Works great and extremely valuable. I saved thousands of dollard on Zapier, as Flowmattic makes me able to host the automation myself. And very deeply integrates with the products I need.

    Tijn

    Ease of use and terrific support from the founder. Tons of integrations and regular updates. The Flowmattic custom app is great especially if you want to integrate apps that aren't available yet inside Flowmattic.
