n8n lets you connect Read Binary Files with hundreds of other apps. Create sophisticated automations between Read Binary Files and your stack.

The Read Binary Files integrations are replaced by the Read/Write Files from Disk integrations

The Read/Write Files from Disk node replaces the Read Binary Files node from version 1.21.0 onwards. Check out the Read/Write Files from Disk node!

Simple file based key value store (WriteKey)

Store a key with a value in a local json file. Multiple keys could be saved in a single file. Related workflow: GetKey Create a subfolder in your n8n homedir: /home/node/.n8n/local-files. In docker look at the data path and create a subfolder local-files. Set the correct access rights chmod 1000.1000 local-files. Put the workflow code in a new workflow named WriteKey. Create another workflow with a function item: return { file: '/4711.json', // 4711 should be your workflow id key: 'MyKey', value: 'MyValue' } Pipe the function item to an Execution Workflow that calls the WriteKey workflow. It would be nice if we could get someday a shiny built-in n8n node that does the job. :)

Import multiple CSV to Google Sheets

This workflow imports multiple CSV files and appends or updates them to a Google Sheets document. Here's a step-by-step breakdown: When clicked "Execute Workflow", the process starts. The "Read Binary Files" node reads all the '.csv' files from the specified directory. The files are then split into batches (one file in a batch) by the "Split In Batches" node. For each file, the "Read CSV" node reads the data from the CSV file. The "Assign source file name" node assigns the source file name to the data. The data is then processed by the "Remove duplicates" node. This removes any duplicate entries based on the 'user_name' field. The "Keep only subscribers" node filters the data to keep only those entries where the 'subscribed' field is set to 'TRUE'. The data is then sorted by the 'date_subscribed' field using the "Sort by date" node. Finally, the processed data is appended or updated to a specified Google Sheets document using the "Upload to spreadsheet" node. It checks for the 'user_name' field, if the data corresponding to that 'user_name' already exists, it updates the data, otherwise appends the new data.

XML to SQL database import

This is an example workflow that imports an XML file into an SQL database. The ReadBinaryFiles node loads the XML file from the server. Then the Code node extracts the file content from the binary buffer. Afterwards, an XML node converts the XML string into a JSON structure. Finally, in the MySQL node inserts the data records into the SQL table. In the upper part of the workflow there is another MySQL node that is disabled. This node creates a new table with all the required variables based on the sample SQL database: https://www.mysqltutorial.org/mysql-sample-database.aspx

in other news I installed @n8n_io tonight and holy moly it’s good

it’s compatible with EVERYTHING

We're using the @n8n_io cloud for our internal automation tasks since the beta started. It's awesome! Also, support is super fast and always helpful. 🤗

Last week I automated much of the back office work for a small design studio in less than 8hrs and I am still mind-blown about it.

n8n is a game-changer and should be known by all SMBs and even enterprise companies.
