Automate CSV to Google Sheets with Ease
detail.loadingPreview
Effortlessly import data from any CSV file accessible via a URL directly into your Google Sheets. This workflow automates data ingestion, saving you valuable time and reducing manual errors.
About This Workflow
This n8n workflow streamlines the process of transferring data from remote CSV files into your Google Sheets. It begins by downloading a CSV file from a specified URL, then intelligently parses it, creates a unique identifier for each row based on country code and year-week, filters for specific regions and timeframes (e.g., DACH countries in 2023), and finally appends or updates the data in a designated Google Sheet. The workflow is designed for efficiency, handling data updates and ensuring data integrity. It also includes a note about potential Google API rate limits, suggesting batch processing for large datasets.
Key Features
- Automated CSV Import: Directly fetch and process CSV data from web URLs.
- Smart Data Transformation: Automatically generates unique keys for data matching and updates.
- Granular Filtering: Precisely select data based on criteria like country code and year.
- Google Sheets Integration: Seamlessly append or update records in your chosen Google Sheet.
- Configurable for Scale: Includes guidance for handling large datasets with batching and delays.
How To Use
- Download CSV: Configure the 'Download CSV' node with the URL of your CSV file.
- Import CSV: Ensure the 'Import CSV' node is set to read the downloaded CSV data (default is CSV).
- Add Unique Field: Set up the 'Add unique field' node to create a unique identifier for your data. The example uses country code and year-week (
={{ $json.country_code }}-{{ $json.year_week }}). - Filter Data (Optional): Utilize the 'Keep only DACH in 2023' node to filter your data. Adjust the conditions to match your specific filtering requirements (e.g., dates, regions, specific values).
- Upload to Spreadsheet: Configure the 'Upload to spreadsheet' node:
- Provide the Google Sheet document ID and sheet name (or URL).
- Map the incoming data fields to your Google Sheet columns. The 'autoMapInputData' setting can help with this.
- Choose the 'appendOrUpdate' operation to add new rows or update existing ones based on the 'unique_key'.
- Execute Workflow: Click "Execute Workflow" to start the process. Consider the sticky note for advice on handling large datasets and API rate limits.
