Zip Multiple Files
Key Features and Highlights
This workflow automates the packaging and compression of multiple files of different types (such as images, PDFs, Excel, CSV, etc.) into a single ZIP archive. It features a modular design that allows flexible invocation without being rigidly embedded within other complex processes, significantly enhancing the efficiency and convenience of batch file processing.
Core Problems Addressed
Managing multiple individual files during transfer or storage is inconvenient and results in low upload/download efficiency. This workflow solves the challenges of multi-file management and cumbersome transmission by automatically compressing multiple files into one archive package, thereby simplifying subsequent operational workflows.
Application Scenarios
- Bulk uploading multiple files to servers or cloud storage
- Creating archive files for email distribution or sharing
- Data backup and archival management
- Unified packaging for cross-system file transfers
Main Process Steps
- Trigger Execution: Initiate the workflow via the “Execute Workflow Trigger” node.
- File Aggregation Preparation: Collect all input files’ binary data and standardize their naming using the “Code Magic” node.
- File Compression: Compress all collected files into a ZIP archive named with the current date and time using the “Compression” node.
- Output Finalization: Clean and set the final output file name through the “Prepare Output” node, ensuring the file name format is standardized and contains no spaces.
Involved Systems or Services
This workflow primarily utilizes built-in n8n nodes to perform file processing operations without relying on external third-party services, offering high independence and flexible integration capabilities.
Target Users and Value
- Enterprises or individual users requiring automated batch file packaging
- IT operations personnel and data administrators looking to streamline file archiving processes
- Teams handling multiple file formats needing unified management
- Application developers aiming to improve file processing efficiency through low-code or no-code solutions
This workflow provides an efficient and flexible automation solution for multi-file compression, significantly reducing manual operational complexity and enabling users to quickly complete file organization and archiving tasks.
Backup n8n Credentials to GitHub
This workflow primarily implements automatic backup of all credentials to a GitHub repository, with files named according to the workflow ID and saved in JSON format. It supports scheduled execution and manual triggering, and can automatically compare the differences in backup files to ensure updates only occur when changes are detected, thereby reducing storage space and redundant commits. By processing each credential data in a loop, it optimizes memory usage. This workflow provides users with secure and reliable credential management and version control, enhancing backup efficiency and reducing manual operations.
Scheduled Monitoring of Elasticsearch Alerts with Automatic Azure DevOps Work Item Creation
This workflow automatically queries alarm data in Elasticsearch at scheduled times every day, intelligently determining whether there are any alarm messages. When an alarm is detected, it automatically creates the corresponding task ticket in Azure DevOps, thereby improving the response speed and processing efficiency of alarms. Through this automated process, the team can promptly track and manage potential issues, avoiding the inefficiencies of manual queries and task creation, ensuring that each alarm is effectively addressed and enhancing overall work efficiency.
PRISM Elastic Alert Email Notification Automation Workflow
This workflow automatically retrieves alarm data from the PRISM Elastic API and sends formatted email notifications to designated users via the Microsoft Graph API. Triggered on a schedule without manual intervention, it ensures timely responses and prevents the omission of important alarm information. The email content includes the alarm name, severity level, and detailed information, helping IT operations and security teams improve efficiency, quickly address abnormal events, and build an intelligent monitoring system.
Get DNS entries
This workflow is designed to automatically retrieve DNS records for a specified domain name. Users only need to manually trigger it to quickly generate domain information and call external API interfaces to obtain complete DNS entries. By integrating the query process, it significantly enhances work efficiency and reduces the complexity of manual operations. It is suitable for professionals such as IT operations personnel, network administrators, and developers, helping them quickly understand and monitor the DNS configuration of domains.
Website Check
This workflow automatically accesses a specified website at scheduled intervals to check if the webpage content contains specific keywords, such as "Out Of Stock." Based on the detection results, it sends different alert messages via Discord, enabling real-time monitoring of the website's status. It is suitable for e-commerce sellers, procurement personnel, and others, helping users quickly become aware of inventory changes, improving the efficiency and accuracy of information retrieval, and avoiding the hassle of manually refreshing the webpage.
Manual Triggered File Download and Automatic Sharing to Slack
This workflow allows users to automatically download files from a specified URL through a simple manual trigger and upload them to a Slack channel with a custom comment. This process effectively addresses the cumbersome task of cross-platform file retrieval and team sharing, avoiding the repetitive downloading and uploading process. It ensures that team members can quickly access the latest resources, enhancing collaboration efficiency, and is particularly suitable for product managers, designers, and remote collaboration teams.
Create_Unique_Jira_Tickets_from_Splunk_Alerts
This workflow can automatically convert Splunk alerts into unique Jira tickets, preventing duplicate ticket creation. It intelligently assesses existing tickets and updates relevant information in real-time, ensuring data integrity and consistency. Additionally, it automatically standardizes hostname formats, enhancing the accuracy of ticket fields. This process significantly improves the response speed and management efficiency of security operations and IT operations teams, reduces manual intervention, lowers the risk of errors, and optimizes the alert handling process.
Example - Backup n8n to Nextcloud
This workflow automatically backs up workflow configurations to Nextcloud cloud storage to ensure data security. Users can choose to schedule tasks or manually trigger the backup process. The system retrieves workflow details by calling an API, merges and converts them into binary format, and then uploads them to the cloud for centralized management and convenient recovery. This solution is suitable for teams or individuals who need to regularly back up and protect workflow data, significantly improving operational efficiency and reducing the complexity of manual operations.
