Quick overview This workflow backs up n8n workflows and encrypted credentials from a self-hosted Docker instance via SSH, stores the exports as JSON files in structured Google Drive folders, and provides a Basic Auth–protected form to restore uploaded backups back into an n8n Docker container. How it works Runs on a cron schedule to start a backup and set the target n8n Docker container name and timestamp. Creates a timestamped backup folder in Google Drive with subfolders for workflows and credentials. Connects over SSH and runs the n8n CLI inside the Docker container to export all workflows and all credentials as JSON. Uploads a full workflows-all.json export and also uploads each workflow as its own JSON file into the Google Drive workflows folder. Uploads a full credentials-all.json export and also uploads each credential as its own JSON file into the Google Drive credentials folder. Builds a combined workflows-credentials.json package from both exports and uploads it to the root of the Google Drive backup folder.

WAutomatically Save & Organize LINE Message Files in Google Drive with Sheets Logging
Overview This workflow automatically saves files received via LINE Messaging API into Google Drive and logs the file details into a Google Sheet. It checks the file type against allowed types, organizes files into date-based folders and (optionally) file type–specific subfolders, and sends a reply message back to the LINE user with the file URL or an error message if the file type is not permitted. Who is this for? Developers & IT Administrators: Looking to integrate LINE with Google Drive and Sheets for automated file management. Businesses & Marketing Teams: That want to automatically archive media files and documents received from users via LINE. Anyone Interested in No-Code Automation: Users who want to leverage n8n’s capabilities without heavy coding. What Problem Does This Workflow Solve?

Data Logging: Each file upload is recorded in a Google Sheet, providing an audit trail with file names, upload dates, URLs, and types. Instant Feedback: Users receive an immediate reply via LINE confir
Send specific PDF attachments from Gmail to Google Drive using OpenAI
This workflow reads PDF textual content and sends the text to OpenAI. Attachments of interest will then be uploaded to a specified Google Drive folder. For example, you may wish to send invoices received from an email to an inbox folder in Google Drive for later processing. This workflow has been designed to easily change the search term to match your needs. See the workflow for more details. Prerequisites OpenAI credentials. Google credentials. How it works Triggers off on the On email received node. Iterates over the attachments in the email. Uses the OpenAI node to filter out the attachments that do not match the search term set in the Configure node. You could match on various PDF files (i.e. invoice, receipt, or contract). If the PDF attachment matches the search term, the workflow uses the Google Drive node to upload the PDF attachment to a specific Google Drive folder.
