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.

Enrich FAQ sections on your website pages at scale with AI

This n8n workflow template lets you easily generate comprehensive FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) content for multiple services (or any items or pages you need to add the FAQs to). Simply provide the Google Sheets document containing the items to scrape, and the workflow automatically creates detailed, AI-enhanced FAQ documents. How it works The workflow reads data from a Google Sheets document containing information about different services and categories (again, in your case - whatever objects you need). For each service and category, it generates a set of standard questions and answers covering setup, permissions, integrations, use cases, and pricing benefits. An AI model (OpenAI's GPT) is used to enhance or complete some of the answers, making the content more comprehensive and natural-sounding. The workflow formats the Q&A pairs, combining AI-generated content with predefined answers where applicable. It creates a text file (JSON) for each service or category, containing the formatted Q&A pairs. The generated files are saved to specific folders in Google Drive, organized by the type of integration (native, credential-only, non-native) or category. After processing each service or category, it updates the status in the original Google Sheets document to mark it as completed. Ideal for: Marketing teams: Rapidly create comprehensive FAQ documents for multiple products or services. Customer support: Generate consistent and detailed answers for common customer queries. Product managers: Easily maintain up-to-date documentation as products evolve. Content creators: Streamline the process of creating informative content about various offerings. Accounts required Google account (for Google Sheets and Google Drive) OpenAI API account (for AI-enhanced content generation) n8n.io account (for workflow execution) Set up instructions Set up the required credentials for Google Sheets, Google Drive, and OpenAI when you first open the workflow. Prepare your Google Sheets document with the service/category information. Here's an example of Google Sheet. Fill the "Define Sheets" node with your sheets Adjust the folder IDs in the "Prepare Job" node to match your Google Drive structure. Configure the OpenAI model settings in the "OpenAI Chat Model" node if needed. Test the workflow with a small subset of data before running it on your entire dataset. Adjust the questions asked in the "Create your Q&A templates" section After testing, activate your workflow for automated FAQ generation. 🙏 Big, big kudos to Jim Le for his ideas, input and support when building this workflow. Your approach to AI workflows is always super helpful!

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.

FAQ about Google Drive integrations

  • How can I set up Google Drive integration in n8n?

      To use Google Drive integration in n8n, start by adding the Google Drive node to your workflow. You'll need to authenticate your Google Drive account using supported authentication methods. Once connected, you can choose from the list of supported actions or make custom API calls via the HTTP Request node, for example: make sure to configure the necessary credentials within the n8n settings to enable proper access to your Google Drive files. From there, you can easily manage uploads, downloads, and file sharing directly through your n8n workflows. Don't forget to check the documentation for any specific configurations for your use case.

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
