Exchange files with a partner
What this solves
A partner (a vendor, a clearing house, another institution) drops a file on an unpredictable schedule, and you owe them one back. Do it by hand and files get processed half-written, picked up late, or missed entirely on the day someone's out; a bad or partial file flows straight into downstream processing before anyone notices.
What you get. A workflow that waits for the partner's file to arrive and finish writing, validates it before anything else runs, processes it, and alerts someone the moment it fails, every time, without anyone watching the folder.
