This n8n workflow automates the process of uploading image URLs stored in an Airtable database as actual attachments. It begins with a manual trigger, allowing users to initiate the workflow on demand. The first key step involves retrieving all records from a specified Airtable table that contain non-empty image URL fields. This is achieved through the ‘Get all records with an image URL’ node, which filters records based on the presence of URLs.
Next, the workflow updates each relevant record’s attachment field with the corresponding image URL, turning plain URLs into actual image attachments within Airtable. This is done by the ‘Update attachment field with images’ node, which matches records by their IDs and inserts the image URLs into the attachment column.
A practical use case for this workflow is for content managers or teams maintaining Airtable bases with image links. Instead of manually attaching images, this automation streamlines the process, saving time and reducing errors. It is especially useful for bulk updates or regular data synchronization tasks where URLs need to be converted into attachments swiftly and efficiently.
