Incoming update metadata

With the Incoming Update Metadata trigger, the workflow process starts when the metadata of a file transferred to a specific virtual path is modified.

For example, when a partner inserts or updates metadata with the HTTP MFT Rest API, the contract starts if it has an action associated with the Incoming update metadata workflow on that specific virtual path.

The Incoming Update Metadata trigger requires a virtual path.
