# Triggers

With the 'Triggers'-feature, the File System Connector service can monitor a folder for files matching a given pattern. It will, after a defined settling time, then move the newly found file to a defined folder and post an http request to the endpoint you have configured. It can use either basic http authentication or an API key when calling the http endpoint (or no authentication).  A common usage of this feature is in combination with the Integration Engine, defining an endpoint accepting the payload below and starting an integration based on the event.

Example of payload sent:

```json
{
  "FullName": "F:\\DROP\\FILENAME",
  "Length": 123,
  "Extension": ".txt",
  "LastModified": "2024-05-11T20:34:40.0444244Z"
}
```

Once a trigger has been defined, you can examine the logs of it, disable/enable and change other settings of it.
