Automate MySQL Data Export to XLSX with n8n
detail.loadingPreview
Effortlessly extract data from your MySQL database and transform it into a downloadable XLSX spreadsheet. This workflow automates the process, saving you manual effort and time.
About This Workflow
This n8n workflow streamlines the process of extracting data from a MySQL table and saving it as an XLSX file. It begins with a manual trigger, allowing you to initiate the process on demand. The workflow then dynamically sets the target MySQL table name, ensuring flexibility. Next, it executes a SQL query to fetch all data from the specified table. Finally, the retrieved data is converted into a binary XLSX file, ready for download, sharing, or further processing. The included sticky note provides helpful context and suggests next steps for integrating this output into other automation pipelines.
Key Features
- Manual Trigger: Start the data export process with a simple click.
- Dynamic Table Naming: Easily specify which MySQL table to export data from.
- MySQL Data Extraction: Connect to your MySQL database and execute custom queries.
- XLSX File Generation: Automatically create a binary XLSX spreadsheet of your data.
- Ready for Further Automation: The generated file can be easily sent via email, uploaded to cloud storage, or downloaded.
How To Use
- Trigger the Workflow: Click the 'Execute Workflow' button to start the process.
- Define Your Table: In the 'TableName' node, ensure the 'TableName' parameter is set to the desired MySQL table you wish to export (e.g.,
concerts2). - Configure MySQL Connection: In the 'LoadMySQLData' node, ensure your MySQL credentials are set up correctly. The
queryparameter is pre-configured to select all data from the table name defined in the previous node. - Generate XLSX File: The 'SaveSpreadsheet' node will automatically convert your MySQL data into an XLSX file named after your table. You can adjust the
fileFormatif needed, but XLSX is default. - Integrate Further: Connect additional n8n nodes after 'SaveSpreadsheet' to email the file, upload it to cloud storage, or set up a download link.
