5 triggers 5 actions available
File Uploaded fires when user uploads document to Backendless
Agent checks file type and directory against sensitivity rules
Agent retrieves file and routes to Parseur or PDF.co for content extraction
Extracted structured data written to connected operational system
Confirmation sent to uploader with processing result
Sensitive file types held for team acknowledgment before entering pipeline
What This Integration Enables
Without FlowRunner
Manual file processing Uploaded files sit in storage until someone manually routes them
No sensitivity checks All uploaded files treated the same regardless of content type
Disconnected storage File uploads and business workflows operate as separate silos
With FlowRunner
Instant routing on upload Every file enters the correct processing pipeline the moment it lands
Automatic sensitivity detection File name and directory patterns flag documents for human review
Connected file processing Uploads trigger structured extraction and downstream data updates
Use Case Scenarios
Human-in-Loop Highlight
When File Uploaded fires for a sensitive file type (detected by name pattern or directory), the agent pauses before processing it and routes to the appropriate team member for acknowledgment before the document enters the processing pipeline.
Agent processes routinely
Detects exception requiring judgment
Clear match Continues automatically
Ambiguous Routes to human via preferred channel
Human decides
Agent resumes with decision
