Google Drive and Knack integration

Save yourself the work of writing custom integrations for Google Drive and Knack and use n8n instead. Build adaptable and scalable Data & Storage, workflows that work with your technology stack. All within a building experience you will love.

How to connect Google Drive and Knack

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.

Google Drive and Knack integration: Create a new workflow and add the first step

Build a chatbot, voice and phone agent with Voiceflow, Google Calendar and RAG

Voiceflow is a no-code platform that allows you to design, prototype, and deploy conversational assistants across multiple channels—such as chat, voice, and phone—with advanced logic and natural language understanding. It supports integration with APIs, webhooks, and even tools like Twilio for phone agents. It's perfect for building customer support agents, voice bots, or intelligent assistants. This workflow connects n8n and Voiceflow with tools like Google Calendar, Qdrant (vector database), OpenAI, and an order tracking API to power a smart, multi-channel conversational agent. image There are 3 main webhook endpoints in n8n that Voiceflow interacts with: n8n_order – receives user input related to order tracking, queries an API, and responds with tracking status. n8n_appointment – processes appointment booking, reformats date input using OpenAI, and creates a Google Calendar event. n8n_rag – handles general product/service questions using a RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) system backed by: Google Drive document ingestion, Qdrant vector store for search, and OpenAI models for context-based answers. Each webhook is connected to a corresponding "Capture" block inside Voiceflow, which sends data to n8n and waits for the response. How It Works This n8n workflow integrates Voiceflow for chatbot/voice interactions, Google Calendar for appointment scheduling, and RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) for knowledge-based responses. Here’s the flow: Trigger: Three webhooks (n8n_order, n8n_appointment, n8n_rag) receive inputs from Voiceflow (chat, voice, or phone calls). Each webhook routes requests to specific functions: Order Tracking: Fetches order status via an external API. Appointment Scheduling: Uses OpenAI to parse dates, creates Google Calendar events, and confirms via WhatsApp. RAG System: Queries a Qdrant vector store (populated with Google Drive documents) to answer customer questions using GPT-4. AI Processing: OpenAI Chains: Convert natural language dates to Google Calendar formats and generate responses. RAG Pipeline: Embeds documents (via OpenAI), stores them in Qdrant, and retrieves context-aware answers. Voiceflow Integration: Routes responses back to Voiceflow for multi-channel delivery (chat, voice, or phone). Outputs: Confirmation messages (e.g., "Event created successfully"). Dynamic responses for orders, appointments, or product support. Setup Steps Prerequisites: APIs: Google Calendar & Drive OAuth credentials. Qdrant vector database (hosted or cloud). OpenAI API key (for GPT-4 and embeddings). Configuration: Qdrant Setup: Run the "Create collection" and "Refresh collection" nodes to initialize the vector store. Populate it with documents using the Google Drive → Qdrant pipeline (embeddings generated via OpenAI). Voiceflow Webhooks: Link Voiceflow’s "Captures" to n8n’s webhook URLs (n8n_order, n8n_appointment, n8n_rag). Google Calendar: Authenticate the Google Calendar node and set event templates (e.g., summary, description). RAG System: Configure the Qdrant vector store and OpenAI embeddings nodes. Adjust the Retrieve Agent’s system prompt for domain-specific queries (e.g., electronics store support). Optional: Add Twilio for phone-agent capabilities. Customize OpenAI prompts for tone/accuracy. image image PS. You can import a Twilio number to assign it to your agent for becoming a Phone Agent image Need help customizing?

Build your own Google Drive and Knack integration

Create custom Google Drive and Knack workflows by choosing triggers and actions. Nodes come with global operations and settings, as well as app-specific parameters that can be configured. You can also use the HTTP Request node to query data from any app or service with a REST API.

To set up Knack integration, add the HTTP Request node to your workflow canvas and authenticate it using a generic authentication method. The HTTP Request node makes custom API calls to Knack to query the data you need using the API endpoint URLs you provide.

See the example here

Requires additional credentials set up

Use n8n's HTTP Request node with a predefined or generic credential type to make custom API calls.
