ManualTrigger Automate

This workflow is ideal for researchers, students, or professionals who utilize Zotero for managing their references and collections. It is particularly useful for:

• Academics who need to organize and retrieve large volumes of research articles efficiently.
• Students looking to streamline their citation process and manage their bibliographies.
• Researchers who want to automate the retrieval of articles from specific collections in Zotero.
• Data Analysts who require integration of Zotero data with other applications for analysis or reporting.

This workflow addresses the challenge of efficiently retrieving and managing a large number of articles from Zotero collections. It automates the process of fetching articles in manageable batches of 100 at a time, allowing users to handle extensive datasets without manual intervention. By utilizing conditional logic, it ensures that only relevant articles are processed, thereby saving time and reducing errors in data handling.

1. Manual Trigger: The workflow begins when the user clicks on the 'Test workflow' button.
2. Set Loop: It initializes loop variables to manage the retrieval of articles, calculating the maximum number of iterations based on the total number of items divided by 100.
3. User ID Setup: The user must enter their Zotero User ID to authenticate and access their collections.
4. Fetch Collections: It retrieves the user's collections from the Zotero API using the provided User ID.
5. Select Collection: Users can filter and select a specific collection from which to retrieve articles.
6. Get Articles: The workflow fetches articles from the selected collection, processing them in batches of 100 based on the loop count.
7. Conditional Logic: It checks if there are more articles to retrieve using an 'If' node, allowing the workflow to continue looping until all items are processed.
8. Edit Fields: After fetching, users can edit the fields of the retrieved articles, such as title and creator summary.
9. Merge Results: Finally, it merges all the results into a single output, ready for further processing or analysis.
