STEP 1
Connect FTP and MongoDB
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 MongoDB Integration
FTP is a WEXTL® built-in workflow node — it ships with the platform and drops straight into any MongoDB workflow you build. Pick a MongoDB trigger or action below, then add FTP to the canvas in one click. Full visual setup, 3 simple steps, no code and no extra credentials to configure.

How to connect FTP to MongoDB
Set up your FTP and MongoDB integration in 3 simple steps [2] — no coding required. Up to 10 minutes setup.
STEP 2
Build a workflow
Paste selected FTP and MongoDB 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 MongoDB. Use filters or leverage a JS custom code step in between — everything is on the canvas.
How does the integration between FTP and MongoDB work in WEXTL?
WEXTL exposes actions and triggers for FTP and MongoDB 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 MongoDB.
Connect your FTP and MongoDB 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 "Delete documents" in MongoDB. FTP has 1 trigger (including Watch files / folders); MongoDB has 4 actions (including Delete documents, Find documents, and Insert a document). 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-MongoDB 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 MongoDB) 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 + MongoDB 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]
