Processing and Splitting Downloaded Zip Files in n8n

This n8n workflow automates the process of downloading, decompressing, and splitting a ZIP file containing multiple data files. It starts with a manual trigger, then fetches example ZIP file data via an HTTP request. The data is decompressed, and each file within the ZIP archive is separated into individual items, making it easier to process each file separately. This workflow is useful in scenarios where you need to automate the handling of zipped data files received via email, FTP, or other sources, enabling further processing or analysis of individual files within the archive. The workflow’s modular steps—fetching data, decompressing, and splitting—make it adaptable for various automation tasks involving bulk file processing.
