Slack Image Upload Automation Workflow
This workflow enables convenient image uploads to a public S3 cloud storage via an interactive popup in Slack. Users can create new folders or select existing ones for organized management, supporting simultaneous uploads of up to 10 files (in jpg, png, or pdf formats). After uploading, the system automatically compiles the file links and sends them to a designated Slack channel, ensuring that team members receive resources promptly. This process significantly enhances collaboration efficiency, simplifies file management, provides real-time feedback on upload status, and optimizes the user experience.

Slack Image Upload Automation Workflow
Key Features and Highlights
This workflow enables users to conveniently and efficiently upload image files to a public S3 cloud storage (CDN) directly within Slack via an interactive Modal popup. It supports creating new folders or selecting existing ones for organized file management, allowing up to 10 files per upload session (supported formats: jpg, png, pdf). Upon completion, the workflow automatically aggregates the file links and posts them back to a specified Slack channel, ensuring team members have immediate access to the resources. The entire process seamlessly integrates Slack event subscriptions and interactive APIs, intelligently detecting user actions to enable smart routing and responses.

Concert Data Import to MySQL Workflow
This workflow is primarily used to automatically import concert data from local CSV files into a MySQL database. With a simple manual trigger, the system reads the CSV file and converts it into spreadsheet format, followed by batch writing to the database, achieving seamless data migration. This process not only improves data processing efficiency but also reduces errors associated with traditional manual imports, making it suitable for various scenarios such as music event management and data analysis.
Redis Data Read Trigger
This workflow is manually triggered to quickly read the cached value of a specified key ("hello") from the Redis database, simplifying the data access process. The operation is straightforward and suitable for business scenarios that require real-time retrieval of cached information, such as testing, debugging, and monitoring. Users can easily verify stored data, enhancing development and operational efficiency, making it suitable for developers and operations engineers.
Create, Update, and Retrieve Records in Quick Base
This workflow automates the creation, updating, and retrieval of records in the Quick Base database, streamlining the data management process. Users can manually trigger the workflow to quickly set up record content and complete the addition, deletion, modification, and querying of records through simple steps, avoiding cumbersome manual input and improving data processing efficiency and accuracy.
