Send Files to External API on Titan Flow Process

Business Background

Titan Flow equips your business with the benefit of receiving files as an input parameter to be pushed to the storage service provider of your choice.

Titan Solution

Titan Flow allows your product to send multiple files to various preferred storage services, such as Salesforce, an external storage system, a custom API, and more. The multiple files can be uploaded to the web project.

How to Guide

If you have a Web project where a user can upload file/s, it could be pushed to Salesforce or external storage (such as Amazon S3, Google Drive, or OneDrive) or sent to an external custom API using Titan Flow.

For instance, if you have a file upload input field on a web page and a button that invokes a Titan Flow, the uploaded file will be received and pushed to your selected file storage integration or your custom API service.

Note:
