Email files from an on-premise folder via Amazon SES
Drop a file in a local folder and it arrives as an email attachment. The Filerouter agent picks up each completed file from your on-premise server and DocEvent delivers it by email via Amazon SES — sender, recipient and subject all configurable.

How Filerouter (on-premise) to SES Email routing works

Filerouter
Files are picked up from a watched folder on your own server by the Filerouter agent and sent into the channel.

Files are delivered as email attachments via Amazon Simple Email Service.
1
File arrives via Filerouter (on-premise)
A small self-contained agent for Windows, macOS and Linux watches a local directory and sends each new file over HTTPS with an api-key. It waits for files to be fully written, filters by name or extension, and confirms every transfer — nothing is lost or sent twice.
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 Filerouter (on-premise) → SES Email channel.
- Email invoices or statements the moment your on-premise system writes them
- Send end-of-day reports from a local reports folder to a distribution list
- Replace manual attach-and-send workflows with a watched folder
- Notify customers with generated documents straight from a server directory
The two ends don't have to be the same company — invite a customer or trading partner into the channel and they run the Filerouter (on-premise) or SES Email side under their own account, with their own credentials. Learn how shared channels work.
