Automate Google OAuth2 Credential Setup in n8n
detail.loadingPreview
Streamline your n8n setup by automatically creating multiple Google OAuth2 credentials for various services from a single JSON file. This workflow saves significant time by programmatically configuring access to common Google APIs, ensuring consistent naming for easy management.
About This Workflow
Manually creating individual Google OAuth2 credentials for every service can be a tedious and time-consuming process, especially when managing multiple Google accounts or n8n instances. This powerful n8n workflow eliminates that hassle by automating the creation of credentials for essential Google services like Docs, Sheets, Drive, Gmail, Calendar, and Contacts.
Simply provide your Google OAuth 2.0 client JSON and your Google email, and the workflow will programmatically generate and name each credential within your n8n instance. This ensures consistency, reduces human error, and dramatically speeds up your setup time, allowing you to focus on building rather than configuring.
Key Features
- Batch Credential Creation: Automatically generates Google OAuth2 credentials for multiple services simultaneously.
- Wide Service Support: Includes core Google services such as Docs, Sheets, Slides, Drive, Gmail, Calendar, and Contacts.
- Dynamic Naming: Credentials are automatically named using your Google email and the specific service (e.g.,
your.email@gmail.com - googleSheetsOAuth2Api) for clear identification. - Simplified Configuration: Requires only a single Google OAuth 2.0 client JSON file and your associated Google email address.
- Internal n8n API Integration: Leverages n8n's own API to seamlessly create credentials directly within your instance.
How To Use
- Prerequisites: Obtain your Google OAuth 2.0 client JSON from Google Cloud Platform and set up an
n8n APIcredential in your n8n instance. - Populate Google JSON: In the 'Google JSON' node, paste the entire content of your Google OAuth 2.0 client JSON file into the 'JSON Output' field.
- Enter Google Email: In the 'Google Email' node, replace
username@gmail.comwith the actual Google email address associated with your OAuth credentials. - Configure n8n Credential: Ensure the 'n8n Create Credentials' node is correctly configured to use your
n8n APIcredential (typically named 'n8n account' or similar). - Run Workflow: Execute the workflow by clicking 'Test workflow' from the 'When clicking ‘Test workflow’' node.
- Authorize Credentials: After the workflow completes, navigate to your n8n credentials page. You will need to manually 'Sign In' to each newly created Google credential to complete the OAuth authorization process.
