What it does

Tags: Marketing, Image Processing, Automation Context Hey! I’m Samir , a Data Scientist from Paris and the founder of LogiGreen Consulting. We use AI, automation, and data to support sustainable business practices for small, medium and large companies. I implemented this workflow to support an event agency to automate image processing like background removal using Photoroom API. !Workflow > Automate your photos processing with n8n! This n8n workflow collects all images in a Google Drive folder shared with multiple photographers. For each image, it calls the Photoroom API: - A processed image w/o a background is saved in a subfolder Remove Background - The original pictures are saved in the subfolder Original This workflow, triggered every morning, will process the backlog of images. !Before and After 📬 For business inquiries, feel free to connect with me on LinkedIn Who is this template for? This workflow is useful for: - Digital Marketing teams that use images for content creation - Photographs or Event Organisers that collect large amounts of photos that need processing What does it do? This n8n workflow: 1. ⏰ Triggers automatically every morning 2. 🖼️ Collects the names and IDs of all images in the folder 3. 🧹 HTTP POST request to Photoroom API to remove the background 4. 📄 Stores the processed image and the original image in two separate sub-folders !Workflow Screenshot What do I need to get started?
