Reload on external event

Is there a simple way of scheduling the reload of a Qlik Sense application when a new version of a txt file is put into the folder location?

Every 20 minutes I am getting a new updated txt file with a new figure in it and I want to make an application that shows this data so it can be put up on a screen in the office and the new data will be displayed after every new file has been dropped in the location.

There is no in product way to have Qlik Sense monitor a folder like that, but you could build something similar that takes advantage of the Qlik Sense API. Either building a simple tool that monitors the folder and calls:

Or you could of course have whatever tool would create the trigger file instead use the API to trigger the task.
