1,400 n8n Google Drive workflow templates

The Google Drive node uploads, downloads, copies and shares files, and its trigger fires when a file appears in or changes inside a watched folder. Workflows built on it generally treat a Drive folder as an inbox: something lands, the workflow extracts or converts it, and the result goes back out to a sheet, a database or a chat channel. The file-handling steps are why these templates carry more nodes than a simple notification.

How It Works Trigger: The workflow can be started manually ("When clicking ‘Test workflow’") or scheduled ("Schedule Trigger") to run at regular intervals (e.g., every 5 minutes). Fetch Data: The "Get new video" node retrieves unfilled video requests from a Google Sheet (rows where the "VIDEO" column is empty). Video Creation: The "Set data" node formats the prompt and duration from the Google Sheet. The "Create Video" node sends a request to the Fal.run API (Google Veo3) to generate a video based on the prompt. Status Check: The "Wait 60 sec." node pauses execution for 60 seconds. The "Get status" node checks the video generation status. If the status is "COMPLETED," the workflow proceeds; otherwise, it waits again. Video Processing: The "Get Url Video" node fetches the video URL. The "Generate title" node uses OpenAI (GPT-4.1) to create an SEO-optimized YouTube title. The "Get File Video" node downloads the video file. Upload & Update: The "Upload Video" node saves the video to Google Drive. The "HTTP Request" node uploads the video to YouTube via the Upload-Post API. The "Update Youtube URL" and "Update result" nodes update the Google Sheet with the video URL and YouTube link.

• Chat with PDF docs using AI (quoting sources)

  by David Roberts · web · 95,385 clicks

  This workflow allows you to ask questions about a PDF document. The answers are provided by an AI model of your choice, and the answer includes a citation pointing to the information it used. You can use n8n’s built-in chat interface to ask the questions, or you could customise this workflow to use another one (e.g. Slack, Teams, etc.) Example The workflow is set up with the Bitcoin whitepaper. So you could ask things like: Question: “Which email provider does the creator of Bitcoin use?“ Answer: “GMX [Bitcoin whitepaper.pdf, lines 1-35]” Requirements A Pinecone account (they have a free tier at the time of writing that is easily enough for this workflow) Access to a large language model (e.g. an OpenAI account) Customizing this workflow The workflow only reads in one document, but you could customise it to read in all the documents in a folder (or more). The workflow is set up to use GPT 3.5, but you could swap that out for any other model (including self-hosted ones). An n8n automation workflow template by David Roberts.

• RAG Chatbot for Company Documents using Google Drive and Gemini

  by Mihai Farcas · web · 94,941 clicks

  This workflow implements a Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) chatbot that answers employee questions based on company documents stored in Google Drive. It automatically indexes new or updated documents in a Pinecone vector database, allowing the chatbot to provide accurate and up-to-date information. The workflow uses Google's Gemini AI for both embeddings and response generation. How it works The workflow uses two Google Drive Trigger nodes: one for detecting new files added to a specified Google Drive folder, and another for detecting file updates in that same folder. Automated Indexing: When a new or updated document is detected The Google Drive node downloads the file. The Default Data Loader node loads the document content. The Recursive Character Text Splitter node breaks the document into smaller text chunks. The Embeddings Google Gemini node generates embeddings for each text chunk using the text-embedding-004 model. The Pinecone Vector Store node indexes the text chunks and their embeddings in a specified Pinecone index. 7.The Chat Trigger node receives user questions through a chat interface. The user's question is passed to an AI Agent node. The AI Agent node uses a Vector Store Tool node, linked to a Pinecone Vector Store node in query mode, to retrieve relevant text chunks from Pinecone based on the user's question. The AI Agent sends the retrieved information and the user's question to the Google Gemini Chat Model (gemini-pro). The Google Gemini Chat Model generates a comprehensive and informative answer based on the retrieved documents. A Window Buffer Memory node connected to the AI Agent provides short-term memory, allowing for more natural and context-aware conversations. Set up steps Google Cloud Project and Vertex AI API: Create a Google Cloud project. Enable the Vertex AI API for your project. Google AI API Key: Obtain a Google AI API key from Google AI Studio. Pinecone Account: Create a free account on the Pinecone website. Obtain your API key from your Pinecone dashboard. Create an index named company-files in your Pinecone project. Google Drive: Create a dedicated folder in your Google Drive where company documents will be stored. Credentials in n8n: Configure credentials in your n8n environment for: Google Drive OAuth2 Google Gemini(PaLM) Api (using your Google AI API key) Pinecone API (using your Pinecone API key) Import the Workflow: Import this workflow into your n8n instance.

• AI Voice Chatbot with ElevenLabs & OpenAI for Customer Service and Restaurants

  by Davide Boizza · web · 62,222 clicks

  The "Voice RAG Chatbot with ElevenLabs and OpenAI" workflow in n8n is designed to create an interactive voice-based chatbot system that leverages both text and voice inputs for providing information. Ideal for shops, commercial activities and restaurants How it works: Here's how it operates: Webhook Activation: The process begins when a user interacts with the voice agent set up on ElevenLabs, triggering a webhook in n8n. This webhook sends a question from the user to the AI Agent node. AI Agent Processing: Upon receiving the query, the AI Agent node processes the input using predefined prompts and tools. It extracts relevant information from the knowledge base stored within the Qdrant vector database. Knowledge Base Retrieval: The Vector Store Tool node interfaces with the Qdrant Vector Store to retrieve pertinent documents or data segments matching the user’s query. Text Generation: Using the retrieved information, the OpenAI Chat Model generates a coherent response tailored to the user’s question. Response Delivery: The generated response is sent back through another webhook to ElevenLabs, where it is converted into speech and delivered audibly to the user. Continuous Interaction: For ongoing conversations, the Window Buffer Memory ensures context retention by maintaining a history of interactions, enhancing the conversational flow. Set up steps: To configure this workflow effectively, follow these detailed setup instructions: ElevenLabs Agent Creation: Create a FREE account on ElevenLabs Begin by creating an agent on ElevenLabs (e.g., named 'test_n8n'). Customize the first message and define the system prompt specific to your use case, such as portraying a character like a waiter at "Pizzeria da Michele". Add a Webhook tool labeled 'test_chatbot_elevenlabs' configured to receive questions via POST requests. Qdrant Collection Initialization: Utilize the HTTP Request nodes ('Create collection' and 'Refresh collection') to initialize and clear existing collections in Qdrant. Ensure you update placeholders QDRANTURL and COLLECTION accordingly. Document Vectorization: Use Google Drive integration to fetch documents from a designated folder. These documents are then downloaded and processed for embedding. Employ the Embeddings OpenAI node to generate embeddings for the downloaded files before storing them into Qdrant via the Qdrant Vector Store node.

• AI Automated HR Workflow for CV Analysis and Candidate Evaluation

  by Davide Boizza · web · 50,878 clicks

  How it Works This workflow automates the process of handling job applications by extracting relevant information from submitted CVs, analyzing the candidate's qualifications against a predefined profile, and storing the results in a Google Sheet. Here’s how it operates: Data Collection and Extraction: The workflow begins with a form submission (On form submission node), which triggers the extraction of data from the uploaded CV file using the Extract from File node. Two informationExtractor nodes (Qualifications and Personal Data) are used to parse specific details such as educational background, work history, skills, city, birthdate, and telephone number from the text content of the CV. Processing and Evaluation: A Merge node combines the extracted personal and qualification data into a single output. This merged data is then passed through a Summarization Chain that generates a concise summary of the candidate’s profile. An HR Expert chain evaluates the candidate against a desired profile (Profile Wanted), assigning a score and providing considerations for hiring. Finally, all collected and processed data including the evaluation results are appended to a Google Sheets document via the Google Sheets node for further review or reporting purposes [[9]]. Set Up Steps To replicate this workflow within your own n8n environment, follow these steps: Configuration: Begin by setting up an n8n instance if you haven't already; you can sign up directly on their website or self-host the application. Import the provided JSON configuration into your n8n workspace. Ensure that all necessary credentials (e.g., Google Drive, Google Sheets, OpenAI API keys) are correctly configured under the Credentials section since some nodes require external service integrations like Google APIs and OpenAI for language processing tasks. Customization: Adjust the parameters of each node according to your specific requirements. For example, modify the fields in the formTrigger node to match what kind of information you wish to collect from applicants. Customize the prompts given to AI models in nodes like Qualifications, Summarization Chain, and HR Expert so they align with the type of analyses you want performed on the candidates' profiles. Update the destination settings in the Google Sheets node to point towards your own spreadsheet where you would like the final outputs recorded. Need help customizing?
