How It Works
The Google Drive Automation workflow utilizes n8n's powerful nodes to create a comprehensive document processing system. It begins with the Google Drive Trigger node, which monitors specific folders or file types for changes. When a new file is detected, the workflow automatically extracts content using the Extract from File node, enabling precise data parsing. Custom Code nodes allow for advanced transformations and logic implementation, while additional nodes can route information, send notifications, or trigger subsequent actions based on specific conditions.
