# Example

### Automatically detect and ingest incoming files

Imagine a company receiving files from an external application that writes data directly to a file system folder. Each time a new file is created in that folder, it must be immediately detected and taken in charge by Data Mover Smart so that it can be processed, transferred, or managed.

Manually checking the folder or relying on batch jobs would introduce delays and increase the risk of missing files.

You can configure a **File Event Listener** to automate the detection of file arrivals. 

Once the File Event Listener is running, every time a new file is added to the monitored folder, the system automatically detects the event and acquires the file, which becomes immediately available within Data Mover Smart, where it can be processed without any manual intervention.

To configure the **File Event Listener** for this scenario, follow these steps:

* **Listening folder:**
  * **Remote** connection to another Data Mover Smart, via **SFTP**
  * **Remote path:** /inbox

  * **New file** - A new file arrives in the folder

* **Condition attributes:**

* **Actions:**
  * **Rename file** - Rename the file with the current date and time<br>

  * **Move** - Move the file to VFS CustomerData/Invoices/2026 after successful transfer, adding DMS sender attribute.&#x20;
