Managed File Transfer Connector (MFT) for MuleSoft®
Simplify file transfer integrations across the enterprise network
Thru provides MuleSoft with file transfer persistence to guarantee delivery. Files are securely stored in Thru’s cloud until delivered. By using the Thru MFT connector available from the Anypoint Exchange, developers can map persistent file transfer flows to MuleSoft data processing flows for data that requires processing or transformation.
How It Works
The Thru certified connector directly integrates MuleSoft data processing flows with Thru file flows – no coding required:
- Utilizes the Thru data channel API.
- Implements a set of simple operations to exchange file data and metadata between MuleSoft and Thru.
- Handles all file pickup, drop off and exception handling.
Thru and MuleSoft Use Cases
Connect Remote Networks with Central Headquarters
Connect remote networks (e.g., retail point-of-sale) with central headquarters with Thru and MuleSoft. Thru fulfills the file transfer integration and guaranteed file delivery with error handling. MuleSoft flows retrieve files from Thru using the Thru connector. These files can then be merged with other data, transformed and sent to enterprise applications via API calls in the MuleSoft flow.
Integration with Financial Institutions
Exchange financial data such as outbound payments and inbound reports with multiple financial institutions. The Thru® MFT Connector streams data in and out of MuleSoft flows where data is processed.
Integration with HR SaaS
As candidates are hired through a cloud recruiting service, numerous XML files are generated. Using the MFT connector, Thru picks up the XML files from the HR SaaS and drops the files to MuleSoft for processing.
