Automatically Upload Scanned Documents to Nextcloud via ScanservJS
This workflow connects a USB scanner to Nextcloud via ScanservJS and the integrated API. It checks for new scans at a scheduled time (e.g., every 5 minutes). If there are any, they are automatically retrieved via HTTP request and then saved to a desired Nextcloud folder. Ideal for home offices, offices, or maker projects with Raspberry Pi and network scanners. Nodes used: Schedule Trigger – starts the flow cyclically HTTP Request – retrieves document data from ScanservJS Nextcloud Node – uploads the file directly to your Nextcloud account Requirements: Local installation of ScanservJS (e.g., on a Raspberry Pi) Configured USB scanner Nextcloud access with write permissions in the target folder
