How to connect AWS S3 and Google Drive

Step 1: Create a new workflow
Step 2: Add and configure nodes
Step 3: Connect
Step 4: Customize and extend your integration
Step 5: Test and activate your workflow

Step 1: Create a new workflow and add the first step

In n8n, click the "Add workflow" button in the Workflows tab to create a new workflow. Add the starting point – a trigger on when your workflow should run: an app event, a schedule, a webhook call, another workflow, an AI chat, or a manual trigger. Sometimes, the HTTP Request node might already serve as your starting point.

Step 2: Add and configure AWS S3 and Google Drive nodes

You can find AWS S3 and Google Drive in the nodes panel. Drag them onto your workflow canvas, selecting their actions. Click each node, choose a credential, and authenticate to grant n8n access. Configure AWS S3 and Google Drive nodes one by one: input data on the left, parameters in the middle, and output data on the right.

Step 3: Connect AWS S3 and Google Drive

A connection establishes a link between AWS S3 and Google Drive (or vice versa) to route data through the workflow. Data flows from the output of one node to the input of another. You can have single or multiple connections for each node.

Step 4: Customize and extend your AWS S3 and Google Drive integration

Use n8n's core nodes such as If, Split Out, Merge, and others to transform and manipulate data. Write custom JavaScript or Python in the Code node and run it as a step in your workflow. Connect AWS S3 and Google Drive with any of n8n’s 1000+ integrations, and incorporate advanced AI logic into your workflows.

Step 5: Test and activate your AWS S3 and Google Drive workflow

Save and run the workflow to see if everything works as expected. Based on your configuration, data should flow from AWS S3 to Google Drive or vice versa. Easily debug your workflow: you can check past executions to isolate and fix the mistake. Once you've tested everything, make sure to save your workflow and activate it.

Transcribe audio files from Cloud Storage

This workflow transcribes audio files stored in AWS S3 and stores the information in Google Sheets.

workflow-screenshot

Google Drive Trigger node triggers the workflow when a new file is uploaded in Google Drive.
AWS S3 1 node uploads the new file to an S3 bucket.
AWS S3 2 node gets the file from the S3 bucket.
AWS Transcribe 1 node creates a transciption job for the respective audio file.
Wait node waits for the transcription job from the previous node to be complete before proceeding with the workflow (necessary in case the service is busy or the file to be transcribed is large, delaying the workflow).
AWS Transcribe 2 node gets the information of the transcription job.
Set node sets the necessary values to be included in the data set.
Google Sheets node adds the transcription information to a sheet that serves as data set.
