How to connect Webhook and Nextcloud

Step 1: Create a new workflow
Step 2: Add and configure nodes
Step 3: Connect
Step 4: Customize and extend your integration
Step 5: Test and activate your workflow

Step 1: Create a new workflow and add the first step

In n8n, click the "Add workflow" button in the Workflows tab to create a new workflow. Add the starting point – a trigger on when your workflow should run: an app event, a schedule, a webhook call, another workflow, an AI chat, or a manual trigger. Sometimes, the HTTP Request node might already serve as your starting point.

Step 2: Add and configure Webhook and Nextcloud nodes

You can find Webhook and Nextcloud in the nodes panel. Drag them onto your workflow canvas, selecting their actions. Click each node, choose a credential, and authenticate to grant n8n access. Configure Webhook and Nextcloud nodes one by one: input data on the left, parameters in the middle, and output data on the right.

Step 3: Connect Webhook and Nextcloud

A connection establishes a link between Webhook and Nextcloud (or vice versa) to route data through the workflow. Data flows from the output of one node to the input of another. You can have single or multiple connections for each node.

Step 4: Customize and extend your Webhook and Nextcloud integration

Use n8n's core nodes such as If, Split Out, Merge, and others to transform and manipulate data. Write custom JavaScript or Python in the Code node and run it as a step in your workflow. Connect Webhook and Nextcloud with any of n8n’s 1000+ integrations, and incorporate advanced AI logic into your workflows.

Step 5: Test and activate your Webhook and Nextcloud workflow

Save and run the workflow to see if everything works as expected. Based on your configuration, data should flow from Webhook to Nextcloud or vice versa. Easily debug your workflow: you can check past executions to isolate and fix the mistake. Once you've tested everything, make sure to save your workflow and activate it.

Move a nextcloud folder file by file

Description:

This template facilitates the transfer of a folder, along with all its files and subfolders, within a Nextcloud instance. The Nextcloud user must have access to both the source and destination folders. While Nextcloud allows folder movement, complications may arise when dealing with external storage that has rate limits. This workflow ensures the individual transfer of each file to avoid exceeding rate limits, particularly useful for setups involving external storage with rate limitations.

How it works:

Identify all files and subfolders within the specified source folder.
Recursive search within subfolders for additional files.
Replicate the folder structure in the target folder.
Individually move each identified file to the corresponding location in the target folder.

Set up steps:

Set Nextcloud credentials for all Nextcloud nodes involved in the process.
-Edit the trigger settings. Detailed instructions can be found within the respective trigger configuration.
Initiate the workflow to commence the folder transfer process.

Webhook and Nextcloud integration details

Webhooks are automatic notifications that apps send when something occurs. They are sent to a certain URL, which is effectively the app's phone number or address, and contain a message or payload. Polling is nearly never quicker than webhooks, and it takes less effort from you.
