Here is a step-by-step workflow automation process using n8n to easily add a searchable meta value to your existing mysql data:
- 🔍 Add an HTTP Request node and configure it to fetch the required data from your MySQL database using the relevant API endpoint.
- ✍️ Add a Function node to process the fetched data and extract the meta value that needs to be added to the database records.
- 📦 Add a Set node to set the extracted meta value as a new property of the data object.
- 🔁 Add a Loop Through node to iterate over each data item and update the MySQL records with the new meta value.
- 💾 Add an HTTP Request node to make a PATCH request to the MySQL API endpoint, updating the records with the new meta value.
- 🔎 Add a Search node to enable searching the MySQL database records by the newly added meta value.
APIs, Scripts, or Tools Used:
- MySQL Database API: Used to fetch and update data records.
- n8n Workflow Automation Tool: Used to create the workflow and automate the process.
