somdn_product_page

This n8n workflow automates the process of collecting multiple files, compressing them into a single ZIP archive, and preparing the output for further use. It is triggered by an external event or workflow, making it highly adaptable for various automation scenarios.

**Step-by-step Workflow Summary:**

1. **Execute Workflow Trigger:** Acts as the starting point, activated by an external trigger, which could be an event from another system or user action.

2. **Code Magic Node:** Processes incoming binary data from multiple files, dynamically creating keys for each binary file and generating a list of binary keys.

3. **Compression Node:** Compresses all the binary files into a ZIP archive, naming it with the current date and time for easy identification.

4. **Prepare Output:** Sets and cleans up the ZIP file name, preparing it for storage, download, or further processing.

**Use Cases:**

– Automating the collection and compression of multiple files uploaded via web forms.

– Batch processing of files for storage or distribution.

– Integrating with notification systems to provide zipped files automatically.

This workflow streamlines file management tasks, saving time and reducing manual effort.
