STEP 1
Connect FTP and Human in the Loop
Save credentials in WEXTL once. We store them encrypted and reuse the authorization across every workflow [3]. No coding or API skills required.
FTP and Human in the Loop Integration
Combine the built-in FTP node with Human in the Loop on the WEXTL® visual workflow builder. Drop FTP anywhere in your Human in the Loop automation to run its logic between steps — the two live side by side on the same canvas, so you build the whole flow visually without a single line of code.

Human in the Loop
Pause the run for a person to review, approve, or reject before the workflow proceeds. [6]

How does the integration between FTP and Human in the Loop work in WEXTL?
WEXTL exposes actions and triggers for FTP and Human in the Loop that help you connect apps and automate repetitive tasks [1]. A trigger is an event that happens, an action — a step that performs when the event has occurred.

Frequently asked questions
Common questions about connecting FTP and Human in the Loop.
Connect your FTP and Human in the Loop accounts once, pick a trigger in one app and an action in the other, then map the fields so data flows automatically between them. [3]
FTP has 1 trigger (including Watch files / folders). Wire any FTP trigger to a Human in the Loop action (or the reverse) with field mapping in between. [1]
Yes — the integration works in both directions. Use each app's triggers to start a workflow and the other app's actions to update it. [2]
No. FTP-to-Human in the Loop automations are built visually on the canvas. You can optionally add custom JavaScript with Functions when you need advanced logic. [4]
Yes. Trigger-based automations start the moment FTP (or Human in the Loop) fires a new event — webhook-backed apps run within seconds, and polling-only apps re-check on a schedule you control. [7]
A first automation typically takes 5–10 minutes: connect each app's credential once, drop a trigger + action onto the canvas, map the fields, and turn the workflow on.
You can build your FTP + Human in the Loop automation on a 3-day trial with every feature unlocked. Cancel anytime. For your protection, a small deposit is charged to your card when your trial starts. It counts toward your first payment and is non-refundable. [8]
