This n8n workflow automates the process of retrieving random product data from a MySQL database, transforming it into XML format, and saving it as XML files. The workflow starts with a manual trigger, allowing users to execute it on demand. It then fetches 16 random products from the database, structures the data into predefined formats, converts the structured data into XML, and finally saves the XML files to a specified file system location.
The process involves several key nodes:
– Manual Trigger: Initiates the workflow manually.
– MySQL Query: Retrieves 16 random products to ensure unique and varied data each run.
– Set Nodes: Define the structure and attributes of the XML for each product, customizing fields such as Code, Name, Line, Scale, Price, and Description.
– Concatenate Items Nodes: Aggregate individual product details into a single data set.
– XML Conversion Nodes: Convert the structured JSON data into XML format suitable for integrations or data exchange.
– Move Binary Data: Handle the conversion of XML data into binary files.
– Write Binary File: Save the generated XML files to the specified directory.
This workflow is useful in scenarios like automatically generating product catalogs, data exchange with other systems, or maintaining XML-based files for APIs. It provides a seamless way to turn dynamic database data into structured XML files without manual intervention, streamlining content management and integration tasks.
