How Azure Files Pull to HTTP Webhook routing works

DocEvent Channel
routes · retries · logs
Destination
HTTP Webhook
Files are POSTed to any HTTP/HTTPS endpoint you configure as a webhook.
1
File arrives via Azure Files Pull
Scheduled polling of an Azure Files (SMB) share using the storage account name and access key. Collects from a directory with filename pattern filtering and completed-file detection, then each collected file is deleted or moved to an archive folder.
2
Channel routes it
DocEvent's channel server matches the incoming file to your configured route, queues it for delivery, and ensures no file is ever lost — even during downstream outages.
3
Delivered to HTTP Webhook
Multipart POST with configurable headers. Automatic retry on failure. Supports TLS.
Common use cases
Real workflows that teams automate with a Azure Files Pull → HTTP Webhook channel.
- Ingest files written to a share by legacy apps into your pipeline
- Feed modern APIs from SMB-based software that only writes files
- Forward files from a shared team folder to a REST endpoint
- Collect instrument or branch-office output from a share into the cloud
The two ends don't have to be the same company — invite a customer or trading partner into the channel and they run the Azure Files Pull or HTTP Webhook side under their own account, with their own credentials. Learn how shared channels work.
