Streamline Your File Downloads and Merging with n8n
detail.loadingPreview
Effortlessly automate the downloading of multiple files from specified URLs and then consolidate them into a single, manageable package. This workflow streamlines repetitive file handling tasks.
About This Workflow
This n8n workflow demonstrates a powerful yet simple automation for managing external files. It begins by triggering a manual execution, allowing you to initiate the process on demand. The core functionality lies in the 'Set URLs' node, which dynamically defines a list of image file URLs. These URLs are then fed into an 'HTTP Request' node, responsible for fetching each file and storing it as binary data. Finally, a custom 'Merge items' node elegantly consolidates all the downloaded binary files into a single output item, keyed for easy access and further processing. This workflow is ideal for scenarios requiring bulk file acquisition and preparation.
Key Features
- On-Demand Execution: Initiate file downloading and merging tasks whenever needed with a simple manual trigger.
- Dynamic URL Handling: Easily configure and manage a list of file URLs for downloading.
- Binary File Management: Efficiently downloads and stores files as binary data.
- Seamless File Consolidation: Merges multiple downloaded files into a single, organized output.
How To Use
- Trigger: Click the "Execute Workflow" button to start the process.
- Define Sources: In the "Set URLs" node, update the
jsCodeto include the desired URLs of the files you want to download. - Download Files: The "HTTP Request" node will automatically use the URLs provided by the previous step to download each file in binary format.
- Merge Binaries: The "Merge items" node will combine all downloaded binary files into a single output item, with keys like
data_0,data_1, etc., representing each file.
