SplitOut Automate

This workflow is ideal for:

• Business Analysts looking to automate PDF processing and data extraction.
• Developers who need to integrate multiple APIs and file handling in their applications.
• Project Managers managing document workflows and requiring streamlined PDF merging and storage solutions.
• Data Scientists who need to automate data retrieval and processing from various sources.

This workflow addresses the challenge of manually handling multiple PDF documents and data retrieval from external sources. It automates the process of:

• Splitting data from a source.
• Sending HTTP requests to fetch data.
• Writing and reading files from disk.
• Merging multiple PDFs into a single document, significantly reducing manual effort and potential errors.

1. Manual Trigger: The workflow begins when a user clicks the 'Test workflow' button.
2. PDF Array Node: This node generates an array of URLs pointing to PDF files to be processed.
3. Split Out Node: The workflow splits the data array into individual elements for further processing.
4. HTTP Request Node: Each split data point is used to send HTTP requests to the specified URLs to fetch the PDF files.
5. Read/Write Files from Disk Node (Write): The fetched PDF data is written to disk as 'test.pdf'.
6. Read/Write Files from Disk Node (Read): The written PDF file is then read back into the workflow for merging.
7. Merge PDF Node: Finally, all the fetched PDFs are merged into a single document, streamlining the output into one comprehensive file.
