😩 The problem
You have a data flow that runs every day. A file arrives from a source — an FTP, an API, a URL — gets processed, and the output needs to land somewhere: your ERP, your database, a downstream system.
Today, someone does this manually. They download the file, reformat it, upload it to the destination. Or you've built a custom script that breaks every time the source changes its format. Either way, it's fragile, time-consuming, or both.
✅ How WeTransform solves it
WeTransform connects your source to your destination — with transformation, validation, and error handling in between. Once configured, the pipeline runs automatically. No manual steps, no custom code to maintain.
🔁 Configure once, runs forever. The transformation logic — column mapping, rules, validations — is stored in WeTransform. When the source changes slightly (new column, different date format), you adjust the configuration in the interface. No code deployment, no developer required.
⚙️ The typical automation architecture
Source connected — FTP, SFTP, URL, or API. WeTransform knows where to find the file.
Schedule set — daily at 6am, every hour, or triggered on demand via API.
Transformation runs — columns mapped, rules applied, data validated.
Output delivered — webhook fires with the download URL. Your system receives the file automatically.
🏭 Common automation scenarios
📦 Daily supplier feed → ERP — a supplier drops a product price update on their FTP every morning. WeTransform picks it up, normalizes it, and pushes the clean file to your ERP before your team starts work.
🧾 Invoice flow → accounting system — invoices arrive as PDFs or structured files throughout the day. WeTransform processes them in real time via API trigger and delivers structured data to your accounting platform via webhook.
📊 Reporting consolidation — multiple teams send weekly reports in different formats. A scheduled transformation normalizes and consolidates them into a single unified output every Monday morning.
🔧 Technical options
WeTransform gives you three ways to trigger an automated transformation:
Scheduled — set a recurring time (hourly, daily, weekly). WeTransform fetches the source and runs automatically.
API-triggered — your system calls
POST /transformation/automation/{id}when it's ready. Full control over timing.Webhook-delivered — the output URL is pushed to your endpoint the moment processing completes. No polling needed.
