[Community Node Tutorial] The Easiest Way to Set Up Document Data Extraction in n8n – Under 2 Minutes, No Code (Step-by-Step Guide)

:waving_hand: Hey n8n Community!

We just released the easybits Extractor as a verified community node on n8n, so I put together a quick video showing how to go from install to first extraction in under 2 minutes – no code needed.

For those who prefer reading, here’s the step-by-step:

:rocket: How to get started

  1. n8n Cloud: Search for “easybits Extractor” in the node panel – it’s available out of the box, no installation needed.
  2. Self-hosted: Go to Settings → Community Nodes → Install → enter @easybits/n8n-nodes-extractor.
  3. Create your extraction pipeline and define your schema for free at easybits.tech.
  4. Drop the node into your canvas and connect it to any node that outputs a file – a Telegram Trigger, Gmail Trigger, n8n Form with file upload, or an HTTP Request.

That’s it – binary in, clean structured JSON out. No code, no post-processing.

For more details on configuration options and input types, check out our n8n integration guide.
