About This Workflow
Overview
This n8n workflow automates the process of organizing files within a specified local directory. It utilizes the Local File Trigger to monitor a folder for changes, then uses Execute Command nodes to list existing files and folders. The core logic lies in integrating with Mistral AI via the Mistral Cloud Chat Model node. Mistral AI analyzes the file structure and provides intelligent suggestions on how to organize top-level files into subdirectories, even suggesting new subdirectories to create. Finally, another Execute Command node acts on these AI-generated suggestions to move the files, ensuring a dynamic and intelligent file management system.
Key Features
- Monitors a target folder for file system changes using
Local File Trigger. - Identifies and lists files and subdirectories within the target folder using
Execute Command. - Leverages Mistral AI (
Mistral Cloud Chat Model) for intelligent file organization suggestions. - Supports suggesting new subdirectories based on AI analysis.
- Moves files to suggested subdirectories using
Execute Command, with handling for existing files.
How To Use
- Configure Local File Trigger: Set the
pathto the directory you want to monitor for file changes. - Define Directory for Execution: The
Set Variablesnode (initially set toLocal File Trigger's path) specifies the directory where file operations will occur. - List Files and Folders: The
Get Files and Foldersnode uses shell commands to list all files and directories in the target path. - Parse File and Folder Lists: The
Files and Folders to Arraynode processes the command output into separate arrays for files and folders. - Check for Files: The
If Has Target Files...node ensures the workflow proceeds only if there are files to organize. - AI-Powered Organization: Configure the
Mistral Cloud Chat Modelnode with a prompt instructing Mistral AI to suggest how to organize the files into subfolders. TheStructured Output Parseris crucial for defining the expected JSON output format for the AI's suggestions. - Process AI Suggestions: The
Get Suggestions to Listnode (aSplit Outnode) unpacks the AI's structured output for individual processing. - Move Files: The
Move Files into FoldersExecute Commandnode reads the AI's suggestions and executes shell commands to create necessary subdirectories and move the files accordingly. Be cautious with this node as it performs file system modifications.
