detail.loadingPreview
This workflow intelligently organizes newly added files in a local directory by leveraging Mistral AI to suggest appropriate subfolders. It automatically creates missing folders and moves files, ensuring your directories remain tidy and structured.
About This Workflow
Tired of manually sorting files? This powerful n8n workflow automates the tedious task of file organization. It constantly monitors a specified local directory for new additions, such as downloads or incoming documents. Once a file is detected, Mistral AI springs into action, analyzing the file (or its name) to determine its optimal categorical home. The workflow then not only moves the file into the suggested subfolder but also intelligently creates that folder if it doesn't already exist. Say goodbye to cluttered directories and hello to an effortlessly organized file system, all powered by the smart decisions of AI.
Key Features
- Automated File Monitoring: Continuously watches a designated local folder for new file additions, triggering the organization process automatically.
- AI-Driven Classification: Utilizes Mistral AI to intelligently suggest appropriate subfolders for new files, bringing advanced intelligence to your file management.
- Dynamic Folder Creation: Automatically creates new subdirectories based on AI suggestions if they don't exist, streamlining your folder structure.
- Conflict Resolution: Handles existing files by appending a small random string to new files with the same name, preventing data loss.
- Scalable & Customizable: Easily adapt the monitored path and integrate with other systems, or fine-tune the AI's organizational logic.
How To Use
- Define Target Folder: In the 'Local File Trigger' node, enter the
pathto the local directory n8n should monitor for new files. This is the folder that will be automatically organized. - Configure Mistral AI Credentials: In the 'Mistral Cloud Chat Model' node, select your Mistral Cloud API credentials. Ensure the prompt (configured in a preceding node or within the Chat Model's System/User Message) guides Mistral to categorize files effectively and output data matching the structured schema defined in the 'Structured Output Parser' node.
- Activate Workflow: Save and activate the workflow. It will now continuously watch the specified folder and automatically organize new files as they appear.
- Customize File Handling (Optional): The 'Move Files into Folders' node uses Linux commands for moving. You can adjust the
commandparameter to modify file renaming logic (e.g., adding timestamps instead of random strings for duplicates) or to change how folders are created.
