Target Audience

This workflow is ideal for:
- Data Analysts: Looking to automate data extraction and processing tasks.
- Developers: Who need to integrate APIs and manage batch processing efficiently.
- Business Analysts: Aiming to streamline workflows for customer data handling.
- Marketing Teams: Interested in automating data collection and API interactions for campaigns.

Problem Solved

This workflow addresses the challenge of manually retrieving and processing customer data from a datastore, allowing for automated batch processing and API integration. It significantly reduces the time spent on repetitive tasks, enhances data handling efficiency, and ensures timely updates to external systems.

Workflow Steps

  • Manual Trigger: The workflow starts when the user clicks 'execute'.
    2. Customer Datastore: Retrieves all customer data from the N8nTrainingCustomerDatastore.
    3. Split In Batches: The retrieved data is divided into batches of size 1 for processing.
    4. HTTP Request: Each batch is sent to an external API endpoint (https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts) using a POST request, with customer details included in the body.
    5. Wait: After sending the request, the workflow pauses for 4 seconds to ensure the API can process the request without overwhelming it.
    6. Replace Me: This is a placeholder node that can be modified or removed according to user needs.

    • Customization Guide

    To customize this workflow:
    - Change API Endpoint: Modify the url parameter in the HTTP Request node to target a different API.
    - Adjust Batch Size: Update the batchSize parameter in the SplitInBatches node to process more or fewer records at a time.
    - Modify Wait Time: Alter the amount parameter in the Wait node to increase or decrease the delay between requests.
    - Add Additional Processing: Insert new nodes between existing ones to perform extra data transformations or validations as needed.
