🧠 Automation Pattern: Upload Files to Supabase with n8n

One Flow for Web & Mobile File Uploads — Plus Real-Time Triggers and Signed URLs

Uploading files (images, PDFs, etc.) to Supabase can get messy fast — especially if you’re juggling web and mobile apps, private vs public buckets, or need to share time-limited links.

In this automation pattern, I walk through how to use n8n’s HTTP node to send binary files to Supabase Storage the right way — with:

  • ✅ File uploads to public and private buckets

  • ✅ Handling binary data reliably

  • ✅ Creating signed URLs for secure file sharing

  • ✅ Listening for real-time events to kick off workflows

  • ✅ A pattern that works for both mobile and web apps

Whether you’re building something simple or scaling a multi-device AI pipeline, this pattern gives you a solid, repeatable base.
