Backup n8n workflows to Google Drive

Temporary solution using the undocumented REST API for backups using Google drive. Please note that there are issues with this workflow. It does not support versioning, so please know that it will create multiple copies of the workflows so if you run this daily it will make the folder grow quickly. Once I figure out how to version in Gdrive I'll update it here.

Actioning Your Meeting Next Steps using Transcripts and AI

This n8n workflow demonstrates how you can summarise and automate post-meeting actions from video transcripts fed into an AI Agent. Save time between meetings by allowing AI handle the chores of organising follow-up meetings and invites. How it works This workflow scans for the calendar for client or team meetings which were held online. * Attempts will be made to fetch any recorded transcripts which are then sent to the AI agent. The AI agent summarises and identifies if any follow-on meetings are required. If found, the Agent will use its Calendar Tool to to create the event for the time, date and place for the next meeting as well as add known attendees. Requirements Google Calendar and the ability to fetch Meeting Transcripts (There is a special OAuth permission for this action!) OpenAI account for access to the LLM. Customising the workflow This example only books follow-on meetings but could be extended to generate reports or send emails.

OpenAI Assistant workflow: upload file, create an Assistant, chat with it!

This is an end-to-end workflow for creating a simple OpenAI Assistant. The whole process is done with n8n nodes and do not require any programming experience. The workflow is divided into three main steps: Step 1: Get a Google Drive File and Upload to OpenAI The workflow starts by retrieving a file from Google Drive using the "Get File" node. The example file used is a Music Festival document. The retrieved file is then uploaded to OpenAI using the "Upload File to OpenAI" node. Run this section only once. The file is stored persistently on the OpenAI side. Step 2: Set Up a New Assistant In this step, a new assistant is created using the "Create new Assistant" node. The assistant is given a name, description, and system prompt. The uploaded file from Step 1 is attached as a knowledge source for the assistant. Same as for Step 1, run this section only once. Step 3: Chat with the Assistant The "Chat Trigger" node initiates the conversation with the assistant. The "OpenAI Assistant" node handles the conversation, using the assistant created in Step 2. Step 4: Expand the Assistant This step provides resources for ideas on how to expand the Assistant's capabilities: Create a WhatsApp bot Create a simple Telegram bot Create a Telegram AI bot (YouTube video) By following this workflow, users can create their own AI-powered assistants using OpenAI's API and integrate them with various platforms like WhatsApp and Telegram.

Automate Image Validation Tasks using AI Vision

This n8n workflow shows how using multimodal LLMs with AI vision can tackle tricky image validation tasks which are near impossible to achieve with code and often impractical to be done by humans at scale. You may need image validation when users submitted photos or images are required to meet certain criteria before being accepted. A wine review website may require users only submit photos of wine with labels, a bank may require account holders to submit scanned documents for verification etc. In this demonstration, our scenario will be to analyse a set of portraits to verify if they meet the criteria for valid passport photos according to the UK government website (https://www.gov.uk/photos-for-passports). How it works Our set of portaits are jpg files downloaded from our Google Drive using the Google Drive node. Each image is resized using the Edit Image node to ensure a balance between resolution and processing speed. Using the Basic LLM node, we'll define a "user message" option with the type of binary (data). This will allow us to pass our portrait to the LLM as an input. With our prompt containing the criteria pulled off the passport photo requirements webpage, the LLM is able to validate the photo does or doesn't meet its criteria. A structured output parser is used to structure the LLM's response to a JSON object which has the "is_valid" boolean property. This can be useful to further extend the workflow. Requirements Google Gemini API key Google Drive account Customising this workflow Not using Gemini? n8n's LLM node works with any compatible multimodal LLM so feel free to swap Gemini out for OpenAI's GPT4o or Antrophic's Claude Sonnet. Don't need to validate portraits? Try other use cases such as document classification, security footage analysis, people tagging in photos and more.

Over 3000 companies switch to n8n every single week

Connect Google Drive with your company’s tech stack and create automation workflows

We're using the @n8n_io cloud for our internal automation tasks since the beta started. It's awesome! Also, support is super fast and always helpful. 🤗

Last week I automated much of the back office work for a small design studio in less than 8hrs and I am still mind-blown about it.

n8n is a game-changer and should be known by all SMBs and even enterprise companies.

in other news I installed @n8n_io tonight and holy moly it’s good

it’s compatible with EVERYTHING

FAQ about Google Drive integrations
