Automate Item Generation and Batch Processing
detail.loadingPreview
Streamline your data workflows by automatically generating items and processing them in batches. This workflow ensures efficient handling of data, especially when dealing with large datasets or sequential operations.
About This Workflow
This n8n workflow automates the creation of multiple data items and then intelligently processes them in manageable batches. It begins with a manual trigger, followed by a custom function that generates ten distinct items. These items are then systematically divided into batches, one item at a time, for granular processing. An IF node intelligently checks if any items remain, allowing for distinct actions whether the batch is complete or if no items are left, ultimately leading to a 'No Items Left' message when the process concludes.
This robust workflow is ideal for scenarios requiring phased data handling, testing data processing logic, or managing sequential operations where item-by-item or batch processing is crucial for performance and error handling.
Key Features
- Automated Item Generation: Dynamically creates multiple data items programmatically.
- Granular Batch Processing: Splits generated items into precise batches for controlled handling.
- Intelligent Batch Completion Detection: Identifies when all items have been processed.
- Conditional Workflow Logic: Enables different actions based on batch processing status.
How To Use
- Manual Trigger: Start the workflow manually by clicking the 'execute' button on the trigger node.
- Generate Items: The 'Function' node automatically generates 10 data items, each with an index
ifrom 0 to 9. - Split into Batches: The 'SplitInBatches' node divides these generated items into batches. In this configuration, each batch contains exactly one item (
batchSize: 1). - Check for Remaining Items: The 'IF' node evaluates if there are any items left to process. It specifically checks the
noItemsLeftcontext variable from the 'SplitInBatches' node. - Handle Completion: If
noItemsLeftis true (meaning all items have been batched and processed), the workflow proceeds to the 'Set' node. - Display Completion Message: The 'Set' node assigns the message 'No Items Left' to a field named 'Message', indicating the workflow's completion.
