# WATCHFOLDER

The watchfolder trigger will be successfully executed as soon as a watchfolder profile from type "Watchfolder" including the desired stream or prestream is present. On top of that a watchfolder needs to be added by referring to that particular profile and selecting a valid path accesible by the server.

For more information about how to set up a watchfolder see: [Wachfolder](/helmut4-releases/v4.7.0/helmut4-components/helmutio/wachfolder.md)
