Popular ways to use Google Drive Trigger integration
Get email notifications for newly uploaded Google Drive files
This workflow sends out email notifications when a new file has been uploaded to Google Drive.
The workflow uses two nodes:
Google Drive Trigger**: This node will trigger the workflow whenever a new file has been uploaded to a given folder
Send Email**: This node sends out the email using data from the previous Google Drive Trigger node.

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

Sync data between Google Drive and AWS S3
This workflow synchronizes files one-way from Google Drive to AWS S3.
Google Drive Trigger node** triggers the workflow when a new file is added to the drive.
AWS S3 node** gets all files stored in an S3 bucket.
Merge node** merges the files from Google Drive and AWS S3 by key (file name) and keeps only the new file.
AWS S3 node** uploads the new file in the S3 bucket.

Automatically optimise images added to a Google drive folder
How it works
This workflow watches a selected Google Drive folder for any images added to it.
It then takes that image, sends it the the tinypng.com service which optimises and reduces its size (where possible)
Tinypng then returns the updated image which is then automatically saved in your chose Google Drive folder
Setting things up
It's pretty simple to configure and should only take around 5-10mins.
You only need to set up credentials for Google Drive and Tinypng.com
For Tinypng.com you can sign up for their free tier API access which gives you 500 optimisations per month
Once you have those two things, you just need choose your 'input' folder to watch for images and your 'output' folder for where these images should be stored
There are a few more optional things you can do such as the naming of your final image and also lots more you could do with the Tinypng API for more advanced image optimisation

Upload leads from a CSV file to Pipedrive CRM
This workflow gets leads' contacts from a CSV file and adds it to the Pipedrive CRM by creating an organization and a person. The CSV file in this workflow serves as a universal connector allowing you to export contacts from any platform like LinkedIn, Facebook, etc.
Prerequisites
Google account and Google credentials
Pipedrive account and Pipedrive credentials
How it works
The Google Drive Trigger node starts the workflow when a new CSV file is uploaded to a specific folder in Google Drive.
Google Drive node downloads the CSV file.
Spreadsheet File node reads data from the CSV file and sends the output to the Merge node. This Spreadsheet File's output becomes the input 1 for the Merge node.
Meanwhile, the Pipedrive node gets the same list of contacts from the CSV file.
IF node checks if Pipedrive has these contacts already created previously and sends the checked results to the Merge node. These results arrive at the Merge node as input 2.
Merge node compares two inputs via email and removes the matches.
Pipedrive node creates new contacts based on the data provided by the Merge node with necessary details such as organization and notes.

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.
