This feature allows you to upload or register Files in MOBLE from another platform. Ideal for teams managing documents, PDFs, or images in a shared drive or spreadsheet, it keeps your assets organised and up to date without manually uploading each file.

• Sync your marketing brochures, price lists, or product sheets from Google Drive or Airtable into MOBLE automatically.
• Keep your file library current with new uploads or replaced assets managed by your content team.
• Upload seasonal or campaign materials quickly using the CSV import option.

• Each row in your Sheet or Airtable represents one file record.
• The n8n Workflow Template checks for new or updated rows and sends those file details (or URLs) to MOBLE.
• MOBLE either uploads the file (if provided as Base64) or links the external file URL to your site library.
• You can find the n8n Template, CSV upload, and API documentation next to “Files” in the Add Knowledge area of MOBLE.

1. Download the n8n Template

• In MOBLE → Add Knowledge → Files, click the n8n Template button.
• Open it in your n8n workspace (free or cloud version).

2. Connect Your Data Source

• Replace the example Google Sheets node with your own Sheet, or connect to your Airtable Base.
• Ensure columns match MOBLE fields (for example: file_name, url, description, folder).
• Optionally, include Base64 file data for direct uploads.

3. Add MOBLE API Credentials

• In n8n → Credentials → add HTTP Header Auth.
• Name: Authorization
• Value: Bearer ak_XXXXXXXX (find your key in MOBLE → Settings → API).

4. Run and Verify

• Run the workflow once to test the upload or link connection.
• Check MOBLE → Files to confirm the new file has appeared.
• Activate the workflow to enable automatic syncing of new or updated files.

5. Optional: CSV Upload

• Use the CSV Upload button in Add Knowledge → Files to upload multiple records at once.
• CSV uploads are perfect for adding large collections or new marketing materials in bulk.
• Note: CSV uploads do not sync automatically; they are one-time imports.

• file_name — The file’s display name in MOBLE.
• url — Direct link to a hosted file (Drive, Dropbox, etc.).
• base64 — Encoded binary data for uploading files directly to MOBLE.
• description — Optional description or notes about the file.
• folder — Optional folder label for grouping within MOBLE.
• tags — Comma-separated keywords for AI and internal search.
• status — draft or published (optional).

• The n8n Template already includes the correct API calls; you just connect your source and key.
• If you prefer not to use n8n, developers can connect via the API directly — it uses /api/site/files to create or update files.
• All file links must be public if you’re referencing external storage like Google Drive.
• For Base64 uploads, ask your developer for help if you need to automate from a local folder or internal system.

• No file uploaded: Check that either url or base64 is included.
• 401 error: API key missing or invalid — verify in n8n Credentials.
• 415 unsupported type: Ensure only valid file types (PDF, PNG, JPG, DOCX, etc.) are used.
• CSV didn’t sync: CSV uploads are manual imports only.

SECURITY: Use dedicated API keys for file automation and rotate quarterly. Avoid linking sensitive files from unprotected drives.
