STEP 1
Connect FTP and JSON
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 JSON Integration
Extend your JSON other workflows with the built-in FTP node from WEXTL®. Trigger events from JSON, add the FTP node where you need it in the flow, and let WEXTL®'s visual builder run the whole automation for you — smart decisions handled by AI, no coding skills required.

How to connect FTP to JSON
Set up your FTP and JSON integration in 3 simple steps [2] — no coding required. Up to 10 minutes setup.
STEP 2
Build a workflow
Paste selected FTP and JSON nodes onto the canvas [4], or describe what you want and WEXTL wires the flow together with AI Builder.
STEP 3
Map your data
Choose which fields need to sync between FTP and JSON. Use filters or leverage a JS custom code step in between — everything is on the canvas.
How does the integration between FTP and JSON work in WEXTL?
WEXTL exposes actions and triggers for FTP and JSON 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 JSON.
Connect your FTP and JSON 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]
Example: when FTP's "Watch files / folders" fires, WEXTL can "Aggregate to JSON" in JSON. FTP has 1 trigger (including Watch files / folders); JSON has 6 actions (including Aggregate to JSON, Convert to JSON, and Create JSON). Add filters and transforms between steps when you need them. [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-JSON 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 JSON) 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 + JSON 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]
