The File Received Event is published when a file is uploaded using the File Request module in a CloudFiles Dataroom. This module allows users to configure file requests and specify a destination folder for uploaded files.

The File Request module can be created and added to a Dataroom either manually from your CloudFiles account in the CloudFiles Web App or through flow automations using the Create File Request action. Once configured, the Dataroom can be shared via a CloudFiles-generated sharing link, enabling external users to upload files directly into the specified destination.

To use CloudFiles Platform Events, you must first setup your platform event triggered flow as shown in the CloudFiles Event Handler Flow Template. This article will introduce you to the concepts of the event type in the CloudFiles Event Object as well as event details that are returned by the Get Event Details flow action.

Once you are familiar with these, you will understand how to interpret & use these as illustrated in the sections below.

Please use file-received as the type filter when selecting this event in the decision element in flow builder.
