How Azure Files Pull to SES Email routing works

Azure Files
DocEvent checks your Azure Files share on a schedule and collects new files.

Destination
Email via SES
Files are delivered as email attachments via Amazon Simple Email Service.
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 SES Email
Amazon SES with configurable sender, recipient, subject, and body. Attachment included.
Common use cases
Real workflows that teams automate with a Azure Files Pull → SES Email channel.
- Email reports the moment an application writes them to the share
- Forward files from a shared drop folder to a distribution list
- Turn an Azure Files directory into an email distribution point
- Notify recipients with the actual file attached, not just an alert
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 SES Email side under their own account, with their own credentials. Learn how shared channels work.
