Automatically Upload Scanned Documents to Nextcloud via ScanservJS

This n8n workflow connects a USB scanner running ScanservJS (e.g., on Raspberry Pi) to Nextcloud, polling the API every 5 minutes for new scans. Upon detection, it fetches the scan files via HTTP requests and uploads them directly to a specified Nextcloud folder using the Nextcloud node, ensuring seamless document management without manual intervention.

Benefits include time savings by eliminating manual file transfers, reduced errors in document handling, and centralized storage in Nextcloud for easy access and organization. It's particularly valuable for expense management, where scanned receipts can be automatically archived, and HR operations like digitizing forms or employee documents.

Use cases span home offices for personal scanning, small business operations with network scanners, and maker projects. Requirements are minimal: ScanservJS installed with a configured USB scanner and Nextcloud credentials with write access. The workflow supports PDF scans and integrates reliably for cyclic automation.
