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
