Notion and Google Drive integration
Save yourself the work of writing custom integrations for Notion and Google Drive and use n8n instead. Build adaptable and scalable Productivity, and Data & Storage workflows that work with your technology stack. All within a building experience you will love.
How to connect Notion 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 Notion and Google Drive nodes
You can find Notion 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 Notion 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 Notion and Google Drive
A connection establishes a link between Notion 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 Notion 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 Notion and Google Drive with any of n8n’s 1000+ integrations, and incorporate advanced AI logic into your workflows.
Step 5: Test and activate your Notion and Google Drive workflow
Save and run the workflow to see if everything works as expected. Based on your configuration, data should flow from Notion 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.

Send Google Drive files to Notion database
This workflow sends a file to a Notion database of your choosing when a new file is created in a specific Google Drive folder.
Prerequisites
Notion account and Notion credentials.
Google account and Google credentials.
Google Drive folder to monitor for new files.
How it works
When a Google Drive file is created in the folder you specified, the workflow sends the file to the Notion database you created. The workflow uses the On file upload node to trigger the workflow when a new file is created in the folder. The Create database page node creates a new page in the Notion database you created.
Setup
Create a Notion database called "My Google Drive Files" with the following columns:
Filename
Google Drive File
Share the database to n8n.
In the n8n workflow, click on the Create database page node and select the database you created in step 1.
In Google Drive, create a folder and navigate to it.
Copy the URL of the Google Drive folder you are currently in.
In the n8n workflow, add the folder URL to On file upload node.
Build your own Notion and Google Drive integration
Create custom Notion and Google Drive 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.
