Automated Post-Processing of Import Files

After successful processing of an import file via FTP/SFTP, the file is automatically moved, deleted, or marked according to defined rules.

Workflow

1. Edit an Import Profile.

2. Open File Post-Processing Settings.

3. Choose one action:

   

• Move file to archive/success directory

  

• Delete the file after successful import

• Rename file (e.g. add _processed)

  

Rename placeholders

When you choose Rename file, enter the postfix that should be added before the file extension.

You can use these placeholders in the postfix:

Placeholder	Result	Example postfix	Example file name
[timestamp]	Unix timestamp	_processed_[timestamp]	import_processed_1779809986.csv
[datetime]	Readable date and time in YYYY-MM-DD_HH-mm-ss format	_processed_[datetime]	import_processed_2026-03-13_15-19-33.csv

You can also combine placeholders, for example _processed_[timestamp]_[datetime].

Result

• The import directory always contains only unprocessed files.
• Duplicate imports are prevented.
• Imports run in a controlled, sequential order.
