1.Monitor new file in folder
Integrate EasyFTP and file ingestion tools to detect new fixed-width files to trigger order line extraction.
Create sales order records from inbound fixed-width files
Automatically monitor EasyFTP for new file in folder across file parsing and order ops systems. Create and update sales order records when fixed-width sales files arrive, then throttle per line to avoid overloadβso you can prevent manual order entry, reduce reprocessing, and keep delivery details current.
How this automation creates sales order records
When a new fixed-width file lands in your input folder, delays in processing can disrupt order fulfillment. This automation converts and parses each line, computes delivery and delay values, then calls a sub-workflow to create and update ordersβso your team can keep operations moving.

Without Zapier, we would have needed well over 100 employees today just to do what we're doing. We would have been out of business by now.
David Laderberg, VP of Sales
Without having automation, we would have to at least be double our size. Doubling is a bit of a euphemism β I think we would have died or fallen back into oblivion.
Marcelo Lebre, Co-Founder
Zapier helps us close far above 50% more deals than we would without it. It is a key element of our overall strategy and, therefore, of our sales pitch.
Raphael Bochner, Founder and CIO
Zapier gives us unlimited flexibility and creativity. With Zapier, you're like an artist with a blank canvas. I don't know what we'd do without it.
