Once you've connected a dynamic source (FTP, SFTP, or URL) to a transformation, you can set a schedule to run it automatically — every day, every hour, every week — without any manual action.
🗓️ How to set up a schedule
From your source configuration in Integrations → Source feeds, open the source you've connected and go to the Schedules tab. Click "Activate schedules" and choose your frequency:
⏱️ Hourly — runs every X hours
📅 Daily — runs at a specific time each day
📆 Weekly — runs on specific days of the week
🗓️ Monthly — runs on a specific day of the month
🔁 What happens on each run: WeTransform fetches the latest file from your source, runs the full transformation with all your rules and configurations, and delivers the output — either for manual download or automatically via webhook.
📤 Getting your output automatically
A scheduled transformation is most powerful when combined with a webhook. Instead of logging in to download the output, your system receives the transformed file automatically the moment processing is complete.
⚙️ Managing your schedules
You can pause, modify, or delete a schedule at any time from the source configuration. Pausing a schedule keeps all your settings intact — just restart it when you're ready.
⚠️ Schedules only work with dynamic sources. You need a connected FTP, SFTP, or URL source for scheduling to be available. Manual file uploads can't be scheduled — but they can be triggered on demand via the API.
🏭 A real-world example
You receive a product catalog from a supplier every morning at 6am, dropped on their SFTP. You configure WeTransform to connect to that SFTP and run daily at 6:30am. By the time your team arrives, the transformed file is already in your ERP — zero manual work.
