Automatically deploy n8n workflows by simply dropping JSON files into a Google Drive folder—this template watches for new exports, cleans and imports them into your n8n instance, applies a tag, and then archives the processed files. Who is this template for? This workflow template is designed for n8n power users, and automation specialists who need a simple, reliable way to bulk‑deploy or version‑control n8n workflows via Google Drive. It’s perfect if you: Manage multiple n8n instances (staging, production, etc.) Want an easy “drop‑in” approach to publish new or updated workflows Prefer storing/exporting JSON in Drive rather than editing in the UI Use case Manually importing .json exports into n8n is slow and error‑prone.

Recognize invoices / receipts from Google Drive and put them into Google Sheets

This workflow allows you to recognize a folder with receipts or invoices (make sure your files are in .pdf, .png, or .jpg format). The workflow can be triggered via the "Test workflow" button, and it also monitors the folder for new files, automatically recognizing them. Video Demo https://youtu.be/mGPt7fqGQD8 1. n8n import glitch After import, the trigger node "When clicking 'Test workflow'" might be disconnected. You need to connect it via 2 arrows to "Google Sheets1" and "Google Drive" nodes. So, the workflow has 2 triggers - via button, and via Google Sheets "new file" event - both of these triggers should be connected to 2 nodes. Here is how it should look like: https://ocr.oakpdf.com/n8n_fix.png 2.
