This automated n8n workflow enables launching AWS EC2 instances directly from a Google Sheets document. Users can specify instance details (e.g., region, instance type, key pair) in a Google Sheet, triggering the workflow to create EC2 instances via the AWS API. The workflow updates the sheet with instance information and sends confirmation emails. Fundamental Aspects Google Sheets Trigger**: Initiates the workflow when a new row is added or updated in the Google Sheet. Extract Instance Details**: Parses region, instance type, key pair name, and instance name from the sheet. Validate Inputs**: Checks for required fields and valid AWS configurations. Launch EC2 Instance**: Uses the AWS EC2 API to launch the specified instance. Update Google Sheet**: Adds instance ID and status to the sheet. Send Confirmation Email**: Notifies the user via email with instance details. Setup Instructions Import the Workflow into n8n**: Download the workflow JSON and import it via the n8n interface. Configure API Credentials**: Set up Google Sheets API credentials with appropriate permissions. Configure AWS IAM credentials with EC2 launch permissions. Configure SMTP credentials for email notifications. Prepare Google Sheet**: Create a sheet with columns for region, instance type, key pair name, instance name, instance ID, and status. Run the Workflow**: Activate the Google Sheets trigger and test by adding a row with instance details. Verify Responses**: Check the Google Sheet for updated instance IDs and emails for confirmation. Adjust Parameters**: Fine-tune AWS region settings or email templates as needed. Technical Dependencies Google Sheets API**: For reading and writing data. AWS EC2 API**: For launching and managing instances. SMTP Service**: For sending confirmation emails. n8n**: For workflow automation and integration. Customization Possibilities Add Instance Types**: Support additional EC2 instance types. Enhance Validation**: Add checks for AWS limits or quotas.
