How It Works
This n8n automation workflow begins with a manual trigger that initiates the image download process. Using the HTTP request node, the workflow retrieves an image from a specified internet source. The edit image node then applies custom text overlay parameters, allowing precise positioning, font selection, and styling. Built-in error handling nodes ensure robust performance, catching and managing potential download or editing issues, while providing comprehensive logging and notification capabilities.
