Postgres and Google Sheets integration

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

How to connect Postgres and Google Sheets

  • 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 Postgres and Google Sheets nodes

You can find Postgres and Google Sheets 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 Postgres and Google Sheets nodes one by one: input data on the left, parameters in the middle, and output data on the right.

Step 3: Connect Postgres and Google Sheets

A connection establishes a link between Postgres and Google Sheets (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 Postgres and Google Sheets 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 Postgres and Google Sheets with any of n8n’s 1000+ integrations, and incorporate advanced AI logic into your workflows.

Step 5: Test and activate your Postgres and Google Sheets workflow

Save and run the workflow to see if everything works as expected. Based on your configuration, data should flow from Postgres to Google Sheets 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.

Popular Postgres and Google Sheets workflows

Synchronize your Google Sheets with Postgres

Sync your Google Sheets Data with your Postgres database table, requiring minimal adjustments. Follow these steps: Retrieve Data: Pull data from Google Sheets and PostgreSQL. Compare Datasets: Identify differences, focusing on new or updated entries. Update PostgreSQL: Apply changes to ensure both platforms mirror each other. Automate this process to regularly synchronize data. Before starting, grant necessary access to both Google Sheets and PostgreSQL, and specify the data details for synchronization. This streamlined workflow enhances data consistency across platforms. This example is a one-way synchronization from Google Sheets into your Postgres. With small adjustments, you can make it the other way around, or 2-way.
