Key Capabilities
- Terminal message disposal—discards all received messages with no output or side effects
- Guaranteed end-of-flow enforcement, ensuring messages are not accidentally passed to further connectors
- Lightweight and configuration-free, requiring no setup to drop unwanted messages from a flow

| Send | A toggle that instructs the connector to automatically send files when they are ready. |
| Retry Interval | The interval the connector waits before retrying a failed send. |
