How It Works
The Localfiletrigger Workflow initiates when a file is detected in a specified local directory. Using n8n-nodes-base integrations like localfiletrigger, readwritefile, and splitout, the workflow automatically extracts file contents, processes data through multiple nodes including code and set nodes, and performs complex transformations. Each file trigger launches a precise sequence of actions, enabling intelligent routing, data extraction, and conditional processing without manual intervention.
