detail.loadingPreview
This workflow demonstrates how to automate essential user management tasks within G Suite (Google Workspace) using n8n. It showcases creating a new user, updating their details, and retrieving their information programmatically. Perfect for streamlining IT administration.
About This Workflow
This n8n workflow provides a robust solution for automating Google Workspace (formerly G Suite) user management. It begins by programmatically creating a new user with specified first name, last name, username, and password within your domain. Following user creation, the workflow dynamically updates the newly created user's last name, demonstrating how to modify user attributes effortlessly. Finally, it retrieves the complete user profile, confirming the changes and showcasing the current user data. This comprehensive example illustrates the power of n8n's G Suite Admin node to handle the full lifecycle of user provisioning and maintenance, significantly reducing manual effort for IT administrators.

- Dynamic User Updates: Modify existing user attributes, such as names, departments, or groups, based on real-time data.
- Comprehensive User Retrieval: Fetch detailed user information to verify changes or use in downstream processes.
