Automate Item Generation and Batch Processing with n8n
detail.loadingPreview
Streamline your data operations by automatically generating items and processing them in controlled batches. This n8n workflow efficiently handles item creation and conditional logic for batch processing, ensuring smooth workflow execution.
About This Workflow
This n8n workflow is designed to automate the generation of multiple data items and then process them in manageable batches. It begins with a manual trigger, allowing you to initiate the process on demand. A 'Function' node then generates a predefined list of items, each containing a simple index. These items are subsequently fed into a 'SplitInBatches' node, configured to process them one by one. An 'IF' condition checks if there are any items left to process. If not, a 'Set' node outputs a 'No Items Left' message, signifying the completion of the batching process. This robust setup is ideal for scenarios requiring controlled iteration and processing of dynamic data.
Key Features
- Manual Trigger: Initiate workflows with a simple click.
- Dynamic Item Generation: Programmatically create lists of data items.
- Batch Processing: Divide large datasets into smaller, manageable chunks.
- Conditional Logic: Implement decision-making based on workflow state (e.g., completion).
- Status Messaging: Provide clear output indicating workflow progress or completion.
How To Use
- Manual Trigger: Start by adding a 'Manual Trigger' node to your workflow. Connect it to the next step.
- Generate Items: Add a 'Function' node. In the 'Function Code' editor, write JavaScript to define the items you want to generate. The provided example generates 10 items with an index
i. - Batching: Connect the 'Function' node to a 'SplitInBatches' node. Configure the
batchSizeparameter to your desired number of items per batch (e.g., 1 for individual item processing). - Conditional Check: Connect the 'SplitInBatches' node to an 'IF' node. In the 'Conditions' section, set
value1totrueandvalue2to={{$node["SplitInBatches"].context["noItemsLeft"]}}to check if all batches have been processed. - Completion Message (Optional): Connect the 'IF' node (for the 'true' condition, meaning no items left) to a 'Set' node. In the 'Set' node, add a new value with the 'Name' set to
Messageand the 'Value' set toNo Items Left.
