About This Workflow
This n8n workflow elegantly automates the process of acquiring and consolidating multiple files. It begins by triggering the download of predefined image files from specified URLs. Each file is then individually fetched using an HTTP Request node, ensuring that binary data is captured. The core innovation lies in the 'Merge items' node, which expertly transforms individual file items into a single output. This consolidated item contains all the downloaded binary data, keyed for easy access and manipulation. This powerful combination significantly simplifies complex file handling tasks, reducing manual effort and potential errors.
