Upload weekly dataset to SFTP for ingestion pipeline

Automatically detect the weekly dataset schedule across Schedule by Zapier and cloud storage like Google Drive. Create and update when a matching dataset passes validationβ€”so you can upload fresh inputs, skip empty files, and ensure the ingest server has the newest copy without manual uploads.

How this automation protects your ingest freshness

When the scheduled dataset window arrives, missing or outdated files can stall ingestion and downstream processing. This automation finds the latest export, validates it, and uploads it to your SFTP ingest locationβ€”so your team gets fresh inputs without manual uploads.

  1. 1.Triggers weekly dataset run

    Integrate Schedule by Zapier and scheduling controls to start the weekly ingest upload workflow on your configured day and time.
