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 path to the directory you want to monitor for file changes.
Define Directory for Execution: The Set Variables node (initially set to Local File Trigger's path) specifies the directory where file operations will occur.
List Files and Folders: The Get Files and Folders node uses shell commands to list all files and directories in the target path.
Parse File and Folder Lists: The Files and Folders to Array node 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 Model node with a prompt instructing Mistral AI to suggest how to organize the files into subfolders. The Structured Output Parser is crucial for defining the expected JSON output format for the AI's suggestions.
Process AI Suggestions: The Get Suggestions to List node (a Split Out node) unpacks the AI's structured output for individual processing.
Move Files: The Move Files into Folders Execute Command node 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.
