I’m new to n8n so please forgive me if this question seems too obvious for you guys. I’m using the cloud version on the free trial, so total noob here
In my last step of the workflow I’d like to upload the resulting files from the previous node to a bucket in Google Cloud Storage - but I’m unable to map the filenames to the Object Name property.
I’ve attempted to use an expression, but probably I’m not using it right. Here’s the screenshot:
Last thing, the data (besides the filename issue) is being sent successfully when testing, however, I’ve noticed the file is not being processed correctly. The file size is wrong and the data isn’t there.
Although the binary data in the previous step looks fine to me.
However, I still have the issue that the file is not properly uploaded to Google Cloud Storage. The file size is 7B and it comes empty. I’ve tried to map the binary data too with the expression:
@Javier_Vinas for “Binary Property” try just adding data (but in “Fixed” mode not in “Expression”).
It’s a bit confusing so a quick “why”
“Property” = “key” or “name”
On the left you see in orange the word “data” at the top of each binary file. this is the “property” (or “name”), i.e. how you reference that binary file. By default, most nodes will assign a property name of data
We now have the functionality that when you drag and drop a datapill on a node parameter that expects key name (not an expression), it will automatically pick the key name and insert that. However we don’t yet have drag + drop mapping support for binary data; thus the confusion.
Good news is, a colleague of mine is working to refactor the UX of working with binary data in n8n and it should be a lot more intuitive
