Streamline Your File Processing with Automated Decompression and Splitting
detail.loadingPreview
Effortlessly handle compressed archives by automatically downloading, decompressing, and splitting them into individual data items. This workflow is perfect for integrating various file sources into your automated processes.
About This Workflow
This n8n workflow provides a robust solution for managing compressed data. It begins by downloading a sample ZIP file containing multiple documents. The downloaded archive is then automatically decompressed, revealing its constituent files. Finally, a powerful function node intelligently splits the decompressed binary data, separating each file into its own distinct data item. This granular control allows for seamless integration into subsequent processing steps, whether you're dealing with emails, FTP uploads, or other file-based data sources. Elevate your data handling efficiency and unlock new possibilities for automation.
Key Features
- Automatic download of compressed files from specified URLs.
- Seamless decompression of various archive formats.
- Intelligent splitting of binary data into individual, manageable items.
- Flexible integration with other n8n nodes for advanced workflows.
- Ideal for handling diverse incoming file sources.
