Step-by-Step Guide

How to connect PostgreSQL to SFTP (password-based auth)

Follow these steps to set up your integration. The entire process takes under 5 minutes.

What you'll need

  • An active PostgreSQL account with read/write permissions
  • An active SFTP (password-based auth) account
  • A free Arahi AI account (sign up takes 30 seconds)
1

Create your Arahi AI account

Sign up at app.arahi.ai — it's free and takes 30 seconds. No credit card required. You'll land on the dashboard where you can create your first workflow.

2

Authenticate PostgreSQL

Click "Add Connection" and select PostgreSQL from the app directory. You'll be redirected to PostgreSQL's authorization page. Grant Arahi read/write access to your database collections and records. You specify which databases and collections the integration can use.

3

Authenticate SFTP (password-based auth)

Same process for SFTP (password-based auth). Click "Add Connection," select SFTP (password-based auth), and authorize access. Grant Arahi access to your files and folders. You choose which directories the integration can read from and write to.

4

Choose your trigger

Select what event starts the workflow. For this integration, popular triggers include: new record created in postgresql or new file uploaded in sftp (password-based auth). The trigger fires automatically whenever that event happens — no manual intervention.

5

Configure the action

Define what happens when the trigger fires. For example: upload file in sftp (password-based auth). Map the data fields between PostgreSQL and SFTP (password-based auth) so the right information lands in the right place.

6

Test and activate

Run a test to confirm data flows correctly between PostgreSQL and SFTP (password-based auth). Check that the fields map as expected, then toggle the workflow on. It runs 24/7 from here — Arahi handles retries, error logging, and monitoring automatically.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about connecting PostgreSQL and SFTP (password-based auth).

How do I connect PostgreSQL to SFTP (password-based auth)?

Sign up for a free Arahi AI account, then click "Add Connection" to authenticate both PostgreSQL and SFTP (password-based auth) via OAuth. Choose a workflow template — like syncing databases events to file storage actions — customize the field mapping, and activate. The entire setup takes under 5 minutes.

What can I automate between PostgreSQL and SFTP (password-based auth)?

You can automate a wide range of workflows: sync new PostgreSQL events to SFTP (password-based auth) actions, trigger SFTP (password-based auth) updates when PostgreSQL data changes, create SFTP (password-based auth) records from PostgreSQL events, and build conditional workflows with filters and field mapping. Each workflow runs 24/7 with automatic retries.

Is the PostgreSQL and SFTP (password-based auth) integration free?

Arahi AI includes 100 free actions per month on the Starter plan — enough for most small teams. If your PostgreSQL-to-SFTP (password-based auth) workflows need more volume, paid plans start at $29/month with unlimited workflows and priority execution.

Is my PostgreSQL data secure when connected to SFTP (password-based auth)?

Yes. Arahi uses OAuth 2.0 for authentication — we never store your PostgreSQL or SFTP (password-based auth) passwords. All data is encrypted in transit (TLS 1.3) and at rest (AES-256). Your databases data is only accessed when a workflow runs, and you can revoke access at any time from your Arahi dashboard.

Can I sync data both ways between PostgreSQL and SFTP (password-based auth)?

Yes. You can set up workflows that trigger from either PostgreSQL or SFTP (password-based auth). For example, create a workflow where PostgreSQL events update SFTP (password-based auth), and a separate one where SFTP (password-based auth) changes sync back to PostgreSQL. Each direction is configured independently so you have full control.

Do I need technical skills to connect PostgreSQL and SFTP (password-based auth)?

No coding is required. Arahi's visual workflow builder lets you configure triggers, actions, and field mapping with clicks. If you can use PostgreSQL and SFTP (password-based auth), you can set up the integration. Most users are running their first workflow within 10 minutes.
