Download a file from AWS S3 when the file is in the bucket

How To

Hi,
I have a Senario where i need to wait for a file to be available in a Bucket and as soon as it it I must download it for another senario to continue.

How can I ‘watch’ a S3 bucket?

Thanks
Stan

It doesn’t look like there is a “watch file” feature for S3. Could you do it from the other direction? Does AWS have a watching mechanism that could trigger a call to your webhook? It could even send the file name/id for the AWS S3 module.

Instant Triggers

If you want your scenario to only run when there is new data (and not on a schedule or timed interval), see if your app has an “Instant” or “Webhook” trigger in Make. If not, check if the third-party service has a feature that can send out a webhook when content is created/updated - and then you can point it to a “Custom Webhook” trigger in your scenario.

For more information, see Amazon S3 Event Notifications - Amazon Simple Storage Service

Hope this helps! Let me know if there are any further questions or issues.
