Workato

Introduction

Couchdrop's Workato connection allows you to send files to Workato recipe endpoint via a webhook to trigger the recipe execution.

Requirements

To set up a Workato connection, you will need the following:

• Access to Couchdrop, with the appropriate user rights. Talk to your admin to get these.

• Access to Workato, with the ability to configure Workato recipes with a webhook trigger.

Configuration Steps in Workato

To automatically send files from Couchdrop to Workato you need to have a Workato recipe endpoint set up to consume the files, as this is where the Webhook URL you have to enter into Couchdrop will come from.

To do this:

1. Login to Workato and create a new Project

2. Next create a new Recipe inside your new project

   1. Enter a Name

   2. Choose Trigger from a Webhook

   3. Click Start Building

3. From here you can either choose to set up the Webhook endpoint either manually or using the Guided Setup

4. Guided Setup (Recommended):

   1. Enter a relevant Event name e.g. incoming-file-from-couchdrop

   2. This will generate the webhook URL (copy this) and click Next and you'll be taken to page showing Workato waiting for a file to be sent from your app

   3. Login to Couchdrop.io and set up a Workato connection under Outbound connections and upload a sample file to it - to do this:

      1. Login to Couchdrop and click on Add Storage Connection under Outbound Connections

      2. Choose Workato and click Continue

      3. Enter a name for the Integration and the folder (the location that Couchdrop will monitor)

      4. Enter the custom webhook URL from Workato (from Step 4b above) into the Webhook URL field and click Add Integration to save the integration

      5. To send a file to this new connection click on File Browser and navigate to your new Workato folder

      6. Click on Upload and select the kind of file that you want to upload to this connection and click upload

   4. Your webhook trigger is now ready to be used in your recipe

5. Manual Setup

   1. If you choose to set it up manually you'll have to define the Payload configuration

6. You can now incorporate files sent from Couchdrop into your Workato recipe Workflows

Please Note: The max file size is less than 10MB
