Automate Google Doc Creation from Webhook
detail.loadingPreview
Instantly create new Google Docs from any external system using a simple webhook. This workflow automatically generates documents with dynamic titles and content, saving them directly to your specified Google Drive folder.
About This Workflow
This n8n workflow provides a powerful solution for automating Google Document creation. By setting up a secure webhook endpoint, you can trigger the creation of a new Google Doc from virtually any external application or service. The workflow intelligently extracts a document title and its full text content from the incoming webhook payload, converting it into a native Google Document within a pre-defined Google Drive folder. This eliminates manual copy-pasting, streamlines documentation processes, and ensures consistency across your generated files. Perfect for integrating with CRM, project management, or reporting tools.
Key Features
- Webhook-Triggered Automation: Initiate document creation from any external system that can send an HTTP POST request.
- Dynamic Content Generation: Populate Google Doc titles and content dynamically using data from your incoming webhook payload.
- Native Google Doc Creation: Automatically converts raw text into a fully editable Google Document, not just a plain text file.
- Organized Storage: Designate a specific Google Drive folder (e.g., 'Meeting Notes') for all newly created documents.
- Secure Access: Protect your webhook endpoint with header authentication for enhanced security.

Drive ID(e.g.,My Drive) and then select the specificFolder IDwhere new documents should be saved (e.g., the 'Meeting Notes' folder as shown in the template). - Test Your Workflow: Activate the workflow and send a
