Context
Hey! I’m Samir , a Data Scientist from Paris and the founder of LogiGreen Consulting.
We use AI, automation, and data to support sustainable business practices for small, medium and large companies.
I implemented this workflow to support an event agency to automate image processing like background removal using Photoroom API.
> Automate your photos processing with n8n!
This n8n workflow collects all images in a Google Drive folder shared with multiple photographers.
For each image, it calls the Photoroom API:
- A processed image w/o a background is saved in a subfolder Remove Background
- The original pictures are saved in the subfolder Original
This workflow, triggered every morning, will process the backlog of images.

Who is this template for?
This workflow is useful for:
- Digital Marketing teams that use images for content creation
- Photographs or Event Organisers that collect large amounts of photos that need processing
What does it do?
This n8n workflow:
- ⏰ Triggers automatically every morning
- 🖼️ Collects the names and IDs of all images in the folder
- 🧹 HTTP POST request to Photoroom API to remove the background

You’ll need:
