Boomi
Learn about Couchdrop's native Boomi integration.
Overview
Boomi is an Integration Platform as a Service (iPaaS) used to connect applications and automate data between systems.
Couchdrop can act as the secure file transfer layer for Boomi. While Boomi handles application integration and downstream processing, Couchdrop manages how files enter the workflow through SFTP, FTP, and other supported transfer methods.
Couchdrop can also apply file transfer security and governance controls, including Transfer Shield, before files are passed into Boomi.
How Boomi works with Couchdrop
Boomi is configured in Couchdrop as an outbound connection.
The connection links a Couchdrop folder to a Boomi process using its web service endpoint. Files uploaded to the folder are sent to Boomi, where the deployed process receives and processes them.
Boomi processes exposed through its API can use a Web Services Server connector to receive these requests.
