Read multiple files from disk

About This Workflow

What This Workflow Does

This workflow reads multiple files from the disk, allowing you to automate file-based tasks and integrations in n8n. It can be used to fetch data from local files, process them, and then send the results to other workflows or external services. This companion workflow complements the Read Binary Files node and provides a more flexible way to handle file inputs.

Who Should Use This

This workflow is ideal for developers, data scientists, and power users who need to automate tasks involving multiple files, such as data processing, reporting, or file-based integrations.

Key Features

• Read multiple files: This workflow allows you to specify a list of files to read from the disk, making it easier to automate tasks that require processing multiple files.
• Flexible file input: You can configure the workflow to read files from a specific directory, a list of files, or even use a file picker to select files interactively.
• Customizable file handling: The workflow provides options to handle files in different ways, such as processing each file individually or combining their contents into a single output.

How to Get Started

To use this workflow, simply import it into your n8n instance and customize it to fit your specific needs. You can then use the Read multiple files node as a starting point for your workflow and add additional nodes to process the file data as needed.
