How It Works
The Extractfromfile Workflow initiates with a manual trigger, allowing precise workflow control. It leverages the extractfromfile node to parse and extract critical data from source files. The httpRequest node enables external data retrieval or API interactions, while the set node allows dynamic data manipulation. The stickynote node provides documentation and context within the workflow, and the stopAndError node ensures robust error handling and process interruption when necessary.
